Road in the midst of city owned by the Municipal Committee was identified
and earmarked for the purpose. The plan, as originally envisaged, had a
basement for parking purposes as well as 4 storeys. The top most storey was
to be used for a food court, with a variety of food outlets, in order to cater for
the dining needs of the city populace. An advertisement was accordingly
given in national media seeking interested parties. Even though a few parties
showed their interest, yet no understanding could be arrived at. In the light
of their concerns, however, the proposed design as well as terms and
conditions were revised and procurement proceedings were started afresh.
The proceedings were still underway at the time of the finalisation of the
gazetteer.
RENOVATION AND REHABILITATION OF FAISAL STADIUM

A comprehensive scheme was launched to rehabilitate and upgrade the only
cricket stadium of the city, and to make it good enough for holding first class
matches. With this aim in view, the old ground was dug up, and was refilled
with sweet soil from the river bed; it was levelled with the help of a laser
leveler and road roller; grass was brought from Patoki; soil for the pitch was
arranged from Nandipur; and a PCB curator was brought in for the pitch
preparation. Finally, the ground was inaugurated by way of a friendly match
between Muzaffargarh Eleven and Multan Eleven, on October 12, 2019 which
ended on the victory of Muzaffargarh.
