A couple of years ago, the General Headquarters (GHQ) Remount Veterinary and Farms Directorate had claimed that The Monal Restaurant had been built on their land on the basis of the demarcation by the Survey of Pakistan. The directorate had written numerous letters to the CDA and the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) declaring that the CDA has no right to operate on its land.
