Labourers used a hydraulic machine to demolish the Monal restaurant situated at the Margalla Hills National Park following a Supreme Court order in Islamabad on Sunday.

On August 21, the Supreme Court ordered the removal of several restaurants, namely Monal, La Montana and Gloria Jeans, for operating in a protected area. In its detailed ruling, the court directed the IWMB to take control of such establishments and required the Capital Development Authority and police to assist in the process.
