There was a purpose to build this tower of Pakistan which is also called a monument and that purpose was to be a tower of Pakistan which should be recognized internationally and by looking at it people should remember the map of Pakistan and for Pakistan. And it was ordered by the then President Ayub Khan to come and see it in Lahore and it was decided how much it would cost and how long it would take to complete it but the then President Ayub Khan Gave an order to all the engineers that this minaret is going to be a monument and the identity of Pakistan. No stone should be left unturned in its construction. The government is with you for hiring an engineer, then work has started on it

When I was young, I once had the privilege of climbing over Minar Pakistan. At that time, Minar Pakistan was not closed. Then, due to some unfortunate incident, Minar Pakistan was completely closed. Can and its height is very high. Climb on it and see the whole of Lahore and there is also a fear. To go up, the feet start to ache and dizziness starts.
When I saw it, the walls inside it were very strong. It looked as if there was a steel type of iron here and there was a limestone wall on top of the iron sheet. Such a strong wall. I had never seen it before and it was decorated. At that time it was a huge project which was planned by a famous company of that time.
The name of the company was Mian Abdul Khaliq & Co. The work of this project was started on March 23, 1960.

We have heard from our elders that it took a long time to build it and it is written in the books that this project was completed on 21st October, 1968. The earth was excavated and The feet were made in the ground like they are made from the root of a big tree and those roots keep the tree strong and do not allow the tree to fall down. In which a lot of material was used so that in future it will stand as a strong tower forever and future generations will also see it and remember that someone built Minar Pakistan and this What a powerful work the people of the time did
It was designed by a Turkish designer named
Naseer-ud-Din Marat Khan was a great expert designer of that time and it took eight years to build this minaret of Pakistan and how much it cost.
At that time it cost Rs. 75 lakhs in Pakistani rupees which now amounts to billions of rupees.

The work that the laborers did in those eight years took its place but the work was done and due to lack of machinery at that time it took some time to build it and it became a strong tower in my opinion at that time. Such a strong tower exists in a few places in the world. I think if it was made a little higher then and it was also made for decoration so that big people can come and stay here for a while and the whole map of Lahore and It would be great to see the whole of Lahore. There should be a big building in every city on which hotels and rooms should be built so that people can see the beauty of the city and people from all over the world can enjoy. After getting promotion, you can go upstairs. This facility is available only to foreign tourists and they also take advantage of this facility.
This is a strong tower which is located in Pakistan. People are still amazed to see that after so many years and in the face of storms and hurricanes nothing happened to this tower of Pakistan and even today it is permanent. Yes, this was a very strong project of that time which is still evident today and it is a strong tower
