Waqf Chairperson informed Dr Imam Ilyasi that J&K Waqf Board became the first in India to not only streamline the monthly remuneration to Imams & Khateebs into regular salaries and also increased it manifold as we believe that their responsibilities are very important in leading not only the collective prayers but also inculcating positivity and compassion among the people following them. Dr Ilyasi apprecited the reformative decisions of Dr Andrabi for making J&K Waqf Board a true success story.
