Islamabad: The historical mosque recently discovered near Lotus Lake is now believed to be 500 years old and can be declared an archaeological site after review of surveys conducted by the relevant authorities.
According to the details, the Environment Wing of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) recently found ruins of the old mosque while carrying out development work at the Lotus Lake. At the first instance it appeared that the mosque was almost 100 years old but when the Environment Directorate sought expert opinion of the relevant authorities they maintained the ruins showed that it was built some five hundred years ago. Now the CDA is in the process to make arrangements for a comprehensive survey of the mosque to determine the real facts about it.
