Dr Andrabi took stock of the Urs celebrations and held a meeting with the administration for adequate arrangements for  devotees visiting the shrine on Annual Urs.

She ordered the Waqf Officers to formulate an upgradation proposal in coordination with the administration for the development of the shrine.
