Chairing a meeting of Bari Imam Shrine Development Committee, the chairman Senate said the Urs of Bari Imam should be held at any cost in April as the district administration was responsible to ensure security of the devotees.

He also expressed dissatisfaction over the snail pace work on construction of Bari Imam shrine and said the committee would examine the development work on January 21 and take all decisions during the visit.

Bokhari said the annual Urs of other saints are being held regularly, so why the same is being disallowed in Bari Imam.

He also directed the preservation of a banyan tree in the shrine and restoration of a water springs as the devotees had an attachment with these.

The chairman Senate also directed the reopening of the shrine of Sakhi Mehmood Badshah after necessary renovation of the building in what the city administration assured to accomplish the work within 15 days.

The consultant of Bari Imam project said around 84 percent of development work has been completed and decoration work was underway.
