Head Imam of the Shrine Maulana Amiruddin and Molvi Younis Ahmad Haji also graced the event. Dr Andrabi inaugurated the grand Deodi for the shrine Complex and also dedicated a modern utility cum sanitary complex to the people. Both these works were completed by Waqf Board before the allotted time. She got a rousing welcome from the local citizens and the board authorities in her arrival at Chrar-e-Sharief.

Later Dr Andrabi addressed a gathering in which she highlighted the achievements of Waqf Board during last 18 months. She thanked the people of the area for their cooperation and their efforts to talk about the developmental initiatives of the Board in Charar-e-Sharief. "Much more is on the cards as we are committed to upgrade the infrastructure within allotted time frame.

For the first since decades, Waqf Board is building or upgrading infrastructure at our shrines out of our own resources, earlier this money went to the pockets of some politicians who manipulated Waqf assets," said Dr Darakhshan.

She said that those whose interests are marred by the reforms in Waqf Board are complaining here and there about our working. "We are committed to provide a transparent system at all costs through Waqf Board so that our shrines become model places of visit," said Waqf Chairperson.
