BY SUJJAD REHMAN .
The Waqf Board of Jammu and Kashmir has undergone a remarkable transformation under the leadership of Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi, setting an unprecedented example of transparency, accountability, and development. Once a disorganized institution shrouded in questions about its financial management, the Waqf Board has emerged as a beacon of hope for the people of the region.
A Troubled Past
In its earlier days, the Waqf Board was a symbol of mismanagement and obscurity. There was little clarity about the flow of funds, and the public had no knowledge of where the money was being utilized. The shrines, which hold immense cultural and spiritual significance, were neglected, leaving devotees disheartened and questioning the institution’s purpose.
A New Dawn of Accountability
The narrative took a dramatic turn when Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi assumed charge of the Waqf Board. Under her visionary leadership, the Board embraced transparency, making it possible for anyone, even a child, to inquire about the inflow and outflow of funds. This openness has instilled confidence among the people, who now see the Waqf Board as a credible and accountable institution.
Dr. Andrabi’s administration has ensured that every penny received by the Waqf Board is utilized for the welfare and maintenance of revered shrines such as Khankah-e-Faiz Panah, Charar-i-Sharief, Hazratbal, and Mukdam Sahib. The allocation of significant funds for their development and beautification has breathed new life into these spiritual landmarks, turning them into centers of pride for the community.
Unparalleled Development
One of the most notable achievements under Dr. Andrabi’s leadership is the transformation of Charar-i-Sharief. Once a neglected shrine, it now stands as a testament to her commitment and dedication. The upgrades and beautification efforts have not only enhanced the shrine’s appeal but also reinforced the spiritual connection of devotees.
The substantial investments made in these shrines have created a ripple effect, inspiring trust and admiration among the public. People now believe that their contributions are being used for the right purposes, fulfilling long-standing dreams of seeing their sacred spaces restored to glory.
A Legacy of Hope
Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi’s tenure has redefined what the Waqf Board stands for. Her commendable work has left no room for doubts or criticism, as the results speak for themselves. By prioritizing transparency, development, and accountability, she has transformed the Waqf Board into a model institution that others can emulate.
For the people of Jammu and Kashmir, this marks the first time their dreams of seeing their spiritual heritage preserved and celebrated have come true. Dr. Andrabi’s efforts have not only revived the Waqf Board but also rekindled hope and pride in the hearts of many. As the region moves forward, her leadership serves as a shining example of what dedicated governance can achieve.
