JP Dargah Tender Delay Leads to Financial Loss, Welfare Stalls
Imagine a special place called JP Dargah that needs help with things like lights and cleaning.
Every year, they pick companies to do these jobs.
But this year, there's been a big delay in choosing these companies.
This is because the people in charge are having disagreements.
Because of the delay, the Dargah has lost a lot of money, and important things like helping orphans and fixing the walls of the cemetery have stopped.
Even though a new person is in charge, the problems haven't been fixed yet.
People hope the new person will help fix things so the Dargah can get back to normal.
Annual tender process for JP Dargah delayed for months, causing financial loss.
The delay has resulted in over Rs 1 crore loss to the Dargah administration.
Tender covers key services including stalls, lighting, and cleaning.
Disputes between the Waqf Board Chairman and CEO are reportedly causing delays.
