Dr Darakhshan Andrabi discussed measures to ensure transparency of the money donated by people at shrines and said that soon will have a fool –proof system wherein all the complaints of the people that fund-transparency is lacking are addressed completely.
“Soon we will shift to an online system of donations and different online transaction facilities at all shrines will be made available for the people. We will built a Cancer Hospital in J&K soon,” said Dr Andrabi
