Margala Towers Memorializes Earthquake's Impact in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD--The Margala Towers were the first sign of destruction from last year's earthquake. Early on, the government and media thought it was the only place where lives were lost. Later, it was discovered that Balakot and Muzaffarabad were devasted. Due to poor structural design and lack of care in construction, the tower that fell killed and injured most of its residents. Today this building stands to its left awaiting demolition so that a new complex can be built.
