Twitter has responded with the trend #SaveMonal after the government unleashed plans to seal off Monal Restaurant immediately and take over the navy’s golf course.

The Islamabad High Court chief justice issued orders during a hearing regarding Margalla Hills National Park.
During the hearing, Justice Athar Minallah said ,“This is a protected area owned by the federal government.” “Seal Monal if its lease has ended,” he added. About Margalla Hills Park, the court said the land belonged to the state. “It is a protected area and there can be no activity in it. No one can even cut grass in the national park area,” the CJ said.
This was followed by Twitterati making many post to save the famous Islamabad-based restaurant which has long been a tourist hot spot of the capital city.

Others pointed out the economic downsides of sealing Monal restaurant!
Disappointed by decision of IHC, have always seen Monal’s ushers, on road to the hotel for assisting public. The place which brought International fame to Islamabad is now becoming victim of egos. No one would talk about La Montana & 10 other restaurants in vicinity. #SaveMonal
