The tweet added that Multan is often mentioned as the "City of Saints" with the city's "history widening deep into ancient times".
The street is in the Travancore suburb of Melbourne.
According to the Australian paper Herald Sun, the area is named after the Travancore House, a mansion in the area which is named after the former Indian princely state of the same name.
When the property was divided in the 1920s, several streets were assigned Indian or Asian names.
One of the streets was named Mooltan Street in honor of the city of saints.
