Representatives of many departments were also accompanying her during the visit.
Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that the complete work culture in the Waqf Board was changed from 2022. “Transparency, accountability and public connect is the new order of the Waqf Board. We are now, for the first time in the history of the Waqf Board, undertaking construction works at all major shrines out of the resources of the Board. Earlier this money used to go into the pockets of some privileged classes. The money from the shrines & all from the properties of Waqf Board is now spent on the projects of upgrading facilities at the shrines”, said Dr Darakhshan.
She said during Prime Minister Narendra Modiji’s leadership J&K has undergone huge transformation & so has the Waqf working system changed a lot. “People now rely on the Waqf Board & its decisions. People believe in the Board. People have great hopes in us & we are committed to fulfill the aspirations of the people”, said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi.
