Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Ijaz-ul-Haq while visiting the ill-fated Margalla Tower on Saturday disclosed that the Margalla Tower was declared dangerous ten months ago.
But the people were not willing to evacuate apartments because of high purchased price, he told reporters. Margalla Tower is the most expensive project in the capital, sector F-10 costing about Rs 10 million an apartment.
The sub-standard material used in the construction of the tower resulted in such a bad incident in the history of capital city, Ijaz further added. The minister was concerned about missing family of one of his friends living in the ill-fated tower.
