RAJOURI, May 7: Chairperson of J&K Waqf Board, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today paid visit to Waqf shrines and properties in Nowshera and Rajouri and took stock of the ongoing developmental works and the much required works to be undertaken by the Board in coming days.
Dr Andrabi was accompanied by senior Waqf officers and Administrator for Rajouri Abdul Qayoom Mir. Dr Andrabi discussed future plans of the Board related to Rajouri district. Earlier, Andrabi was accorded warm reception by the people and Board authorities on her arrival at Nowshera and Rajouri. She also met many public delegations and interacted with the people from different walks of life.
She also spoke to media at Rajouri later and said that J&K was now a transformed territory as we the law and order situation in the UT has improved miraculously after 2019. “Whole of J&K now talks about the development and progress in place of day to day shutdown calendars, stone pelting incidents, violence and fears,” she added.
“We have travelled from the era of the destruction to the development and peace”, Dr Andrabi said. She took a strong dig on the dynasts who were instrumental in supporting separatism and the violence by saying that they want the bleeding J&K back and on listening to them one can simply gather their sinister political agendas.
Dr Andrabi said that like in all other sectors, Waqf Board in J&K has registered remarkable achievement in streamlining the Waqf management system and making it vibrant and transparent. This Board has succeeded in reviving the Sufi Spiritual Centers in whole of the UT.
