SRINAGAR, MAY 10:
Minister for Food Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA), Mohammad
Ashraf Mir today visited shrine of Hazrat Syed Yaqoob Sahib (RA) at Sonwar and
took stock of various issues faced by its administration.
The Minister was
accompanied by Vice Chairman Waqf Board, Nizamuddin Bhat, DC Srinagar, Dr. Syed
Abid Rashid Shah, officers from SMC and other concerned officials.
On the
occasion, VC Waqf Board appraised the Minister about the functioning of the
shrine and the hurdles its administration faces while handling the huge flow of
people who throng the shrine on the daily basis especially on Fridays and other
special occasions.
The Minister was
informed that there is a need to expand premises of shrine by adding some
neighboring space that can be of great help to the shrine administration. VC
Waqf Board informed that the overflow of devotees on certain occasions leads to
sanitation related problems. He said, if the shrine gets the additional space,
more facilities can be added which includes separate entrances for ladies and
gents and more washrooms. The lack of parking space also came up during the
discussion.
After giving the
patient hearing, the Minister assured that all the genuine issues will be
redressed and directed the SMC officials for immediate beautification of park
and to maintain the cleanliness in and around the shrine. He also asked the
concerned officials to remove the wires that pass through the premises of shrine.
Later the
Minister went to take stock of ongoing developmental works outside G.B Pant
Children hospital in Sonwar. He directed the concerned officials to expedite
the pace of work on roads as it leads to inconveniences to the commuters. He
directed them to complete the ongoing laying of pipes on priority basis and
macadamize the road afterwards for the better communication.
He directed the officials to develop the nearby unused roadsides and
create the parking slots so that the traffic load on hospital decreases.
