SRINAGAR: Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi visited the Sufi Shrine of Nooruddin Noorani (RA) at Chrar-e-Sharief in Central Kashmir on Saturday. She reviewed arrangements for Shab-e-Qadr and Eid prayer congregations at the shrine.
Waqf Board Chairperson expressed satisfaction on the completion of fresh matting for the entire shrine complex by the Board for the first time ever. Andrabi said that the standard matting of the complex is part of the mission of the Board, which started this Ramadhan, to furnish major shrines of J&K by new matting from Waqf resources. She was accompanied by Waqf Board Officers and representatives of many government departments.
Dr Darakhshan greeted people on Shab-e-Qadr and requested all to pray for the welfare of humanity, for peace and prosperity of all. Dr Andrabi was accorded a warm welcome by the locals on her arrival in the town of Nooruddin Wali. Andrabi met many public delegations who praised her efforts in upgrading the infrastructure and facilities at the shrine.
Speaking on the occasion Dr Darakhshan said that the people of J&K supported our mission of reforming the Waqf Board and we succeeded in registering a remarkable change in the working system of this prestigious public body. “Our 24×7 efforts during two years changed the face of our shrines. Much more is yet to be done. We remained firm & undeterred despite opposition from the dynastic politicians and those who had looted the Waqf income and resources for personal benefits. Waqf Board changed from a body in disarray and loss into a digitally operative transparent & self-sufficient body,” Dr Andrabi said. She prayed for peaceful and prosperous humanity.
