SRINAGAR, Apr 6: Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board, Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi visited Sufi Shrine of Nooruddin Noorani (RA) at Chrar-e-Sharief in Central Kashmir today.
Andrabi reviewed arrangements for Shab-e-Qadr and Eid prayer congregations at the shrine. Waqf Board Chairperson expressed satisfaction on completion of fresh matting for entire shrine complex by the Board.
She said that the standard matting of the complex is part of the mission of the Board, started this Ramadan, 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 the humanity, for peace and prosperity of all. She 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 infrastructure and facilities at the shrine.
Speaking on the occasion Darakhshan said that people of J&K supported the mission of reforming 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. Board changed from a body in disarray and losses into a digitally operative transparent & self- sufficient body”, Darakhshan said.
