This documentary examines the demolition of Monal Restaurant, one of Islamabad’s most iconic and frequently visited landmarks, which was once considered the first choice for visitors and tourists arriving in the capital city.
For years, Monal was not just a restaurant — it was a source of employment for hundreds of families, supporting chefs, waiters, cleaners, security staff, suppliers, and transport workers. With one decision, many of these workers were pushed into sudden unemployment, raising serious questions about human impact, livelihoods, and economic responsibility.
While the government justified the demolition under environmental protection laws, critics argue that the decision lacked:
Proper rehabilitation plans for employees
Alternative tourism development strategies
Consideration for Monal’s role in Islamabad’s hospitality industry
For many Pakistanis, Monal was the first recommendation for visitors, a place where families celebrated moments and tourists experienced Islamabad from above the Margalla Hills. Its demolition has left a void not only on the hills, but in the city’s tourism identity.
This documentary presents:
🔹 The rise of Monal as a tourism icon
🔹 Voices affected by unemployment after demolition
🔹 Public reaction and criticism of government decisions
🔹 The debate between environmental protection and economic survival
⚖️ This is not just a story of demolition — it is a story of jobs lost, choices questioned, and a city changed.
📌 Watch, reflect, and decide for yourself.
