Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 16, 1994

Mohsen came. On the way to the office, we went there together to check the work status of Tehran's Mosla, which has been in trouble recently. Recently, they realized that the subway tunnel passes through Shabestan; Previously, it was thought that it is much lower than the floor level of the Shabestan. Mr. Moayed, designer and architect, has made some changes in the plan, but it has some problems that should be re-examined. Today we had wind, rain and snow.
