Islamabad: The government has decided to open the highly fortified President House to the masses, a news source reported. Commonly known as Aiwan-e-Sadr, the historic building will open its gate to the citizens on December 8.

Visitors would have the opportunity to take a round of the mini-zoo inside President House, besides enjoying a walk on green lawns and visiting the historic halls situated on the fifth floor, where oath-taking ceremonies of top government officials, including the prime ministers, took place.
The government has devised a security plan in consultation with police and security agencies and the visitors would be allowed to enter the premises after security clearance.
