JAMMU, Feb 25: To start the work of mat-laying at the historic Mosque Ziyarat Baba Roshan Shah at Gumat Bazaar, Chairperson of J&K Waqf Board, Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi paid a visit here today.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Andrabi said that she was happy that the Board arranged new matting for this historic mosque for the first time ever.
