Irfan also mentioned that most of his life has been spent building this house as he has been building it for years without anyone’s help. He used to carve to make the house in the daytime and then returned to his home to join his family for dinner. He added that he used to live with his family till 2010, but his life took unexpected turns after the death of his father. He contested elections from his area but could not succeed. At that point, he decided to make an underground palace on his ancestral plot.
After deciding to build the palace, Irfan also used a part of the land for farming purposes as well. Farming has been his main source of earning so far. He also mentioned that the well he made for water needs and irrigation of his farmland has been destroyed by some of the hooligans of the local area.
