Srinagar: Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board and Minister of State Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today visited Qaimoh in South Kashmir and paid  obeisance at the Ziyarat of Rishi Nooruddin Noorani (RA). It was her first visit as Chairperson of Waqf Board to the first spiritual abode of the torchbearer of rishi-order in Kashmir.

Dr Darakhshan was accompanied by the Deputy Commissioner Kulgam Dr Bilal Mohiuddin, SSP Kulgam Sahil Sarangal Tehsildar of the area, senior district officers of various departments in addition to the officers of Waqf Board. 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 also held a meeting with the local delegations to know about the requisites at this very significant shrine of Kashmir. She ordered the Waqf Officers to formulate an upgradation proposal in coordination with the administration for the development of the shrine.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, Dr Andrabi said that soon the developmental works will begin at this prominent sufi shrine. “Central government and the LG administration are clear about the fact that all sufi-shrines need a developmental boost and the Waqf Board is also working with pace on the same mission. Revival of Sufism and the restoration of sufi complexes in the whole of J&K is our priority in the Waqf Board”, said Darakhshan.

She thanked the administration for cooperating with the Waqf Board in bringing out a great change in the entire Waqf Working System in J&K. She also thanked the people for their continuous support of her very bold decisions during the last seventeen months. The Deputy Commissioner Kulgam Dr Bilal Mohiuddin said that district administration will extend full support to Waqf Board in development of this major shrine.
