   The foundation stone of Minar-e-Pakistan was laid on March 23, 1960. The construction took eight years of time, and was completed in 1968. The Minar was completed on 31 October 1968 at an estimated cost of Rs. 500,000. The money was collected by imposing additional tax on the cinema and horse racing tickets on the demand of governer of west pakistan akhtar hussain. The tower was designed free of cost by Nasreddin Murat-Khan,an architect/engineer hailing from Daghestan and Usman Khan an architect/engineer from Sargodha . The design approved by the President was built by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company. Today, the minaret provides a panoramic view to visitors who can climb up the stairs or through an elevator. The base is about 8 meters above the ground. The tower rises about 62 meters on the base, thus the total height of minaret is about 72 meters above the ground.
