After being shared, pictures of the six-storey building went viral, bringing out the sarcastic side of many users. Some compared the building to the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, while the rest hailed the architect’s talent for creating this marvel. Several users criticised the owner and engineer for breaking the rules and constructing the huge building for their greed.
