SRINAGAR, Aug 28: The Chairperson of J&K Waqf Board, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today said that Waqf Board is creating a digital record base of all the assets and properties of the Waqf in the Jammu and Kashmir to maintain a total transparency in the system.
“Waqf is creating a digital record base of all assets and properties which will remain in public domain. The process of digitization is in full swing. New database in the public domain will end all possibilities of any encroachments in future,” said the Waqf Board Chairperson while interacting with media-persons after visiting Hajibal Shrine in Tangmarg today.
Dr Andrabi said that Waqf has shifted to e-office and we will be 100 percent digital within a few months. “Waqf Board is updating its website and soon we will upload information about all departments of Waqf including income and expenditures for public audit. The era of transparency has begun in the Waqf Board,” Dr Darakhshan told media persons.
