Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Oct 28: Despite having huge income, Wakf Board has failed to install CCTVs at different shrines and the grand mosques which was aimed at bringing out accountability over the donations and other aspects.
According to sources, there is no department which has been left over without the installation of Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTVs), but the shrines and other sacred places are without CCTV facilities.
"In the recent past questions were raised over the work culture and the accountability and transparency of Wakf Borad in Jammu and Kashmir", said sources.
Sources alleged that lot of revenue is generated by the board from different sources including donations both cash and kind, and at many revered shrines, the caretakers never pay proper receipt against such donations. It has been noticed that the caretakers of Wakf Board have not utilized the revenue in a proper way, even though there is no authority who may have asked them for audit of donations.
"PDP President and former Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti had asked the JK Wakf Board to utilize its endowments and other donations for the welfare and education of poor and deprived sections of the society" sources disclosed further. "The former chief minister had also said that the resources and other donations with the board as sacred assets were meant for transforming the social and economic conditions of the poor and downtrodden", said sources adding that the Wakf Board should make a list of its employees public so that there will be no fraud and scams.
Meanwhile it is learnt that all the modern facilities are missing at many shrines in Kashmir valley that was once called, 'Pir Wair' city of saints. |
