Centaurus Mall is one of the most iconic shopping and entertainment destination in Islamabad. Thousands of people visit the mall everyday. But this Eid, the Mall’s management did something to displease the residents, especially men.
The Mall management imposed a Rs. 500 entry fee on Eid-ul-Azha only on single men which led to a huge outcry on social media and nasty comments from the people. Some people even encouraged people to boycott the Mall.
What irked the customers more was that entry fee was not only non-refundable but also non-adjustable.

The fee was also imposed to overcome the issue of overcrowding at Mall on holidays like Eid.
After backlash on social media, the management of Centaurus Mall Centaurus Mall authorities issued a reply explaining the reason:
