A key meeting took place today at Dak Bungalow in Rajouri with Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi, Chairperson of the Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board, to tackle urgent maintenance issues at a local graveyard. The discussion centered on repairing the crumbling boundary walls and installing proper lighting to boost safety and upkeep for this vital community site.
Local dedicated worker Sanjay Sharma played a pivotal role, passionately raising these concerns on behalf of residents worried about vandalism risks and poor visibility at night. His tireless advocacy highlighted the graveyard’s role as a cherished space for families in Rajouri, ensuring the matter gained the attention it deserved.
Dr. Andrabi listened intently and gave firm assurances that the Waqf Board will prioritize the repairs and lighting project. She committed to swift action, with funds and work orders to follow soon, bringing relief to the community.
This development underscores the Waqf Board’s responsiveness to border district needs, especially in hilly areas like Rajouri where such facilities face weather-related wear. Residents can now look forward to a safer, better-maintained graveyard thanks to proactive engagement.
