Islamabad (Web Desk): National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairperson Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal has taken the notice of reports that the historic Roosevelt Hotel will be closed by the end of this month.
According to a press release issued by the anti-graft body, Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal has directed the Rawalpindi bureau’s director-general to probe into the reasons behind the decision to shutter Roosevelt Hotel, which is Pakistan’s “national asset”.
