ISLAMABAD: The authorities are shifting the office of customs cargo (airfreight unit) after the building of the unit at the Islamabad International Airport (IIA) has started collapsing.
Additional Collector Customs Nisar Ahmed Phularwal has said that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) would start shifting the office of the airfreight unit to another place, comprising two rooms, on Monday.
He confirmed that cracks in the building had widened and the building was caving in from one side making it no longer safe to work in.
