The Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) has unearthed that roughly $7 million was spent on two government-owned historical buildings located in the US capital’s embassy row for repair and renovation, but the end result is that one building is in a dilapidated condition while the other could collapse any moment.

A recently published piece in The Washington Post stated that Massachusetts Avenue is the most elegant and fascinating street in Washington. Pakistani authorities, however, spent millions of dollars on the two government-owned historical buildings located in the US capitol’s embassy row for repair and renovation and yet the high-value properties are falling into ruins.

The AGP calculated that $7 million at that time when the dollar was sold for Rs104 was equal to Rs730 million. Now, it’s over one billion rupees.
