Overview
- Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar visited Data Darbar, offered Fateha, inspected the ongoing works, and directed officers to ensure quality construction and timely completion.
- Secretary Auqaf Punjab Dr. Ehsan Bhutta conducted a detailed inspection, briefed officials on the development plan, and confirmed coordination with NESPAK and Communication & Works on implementation.
- Project teams report concrete progress on specific tasks such as installing calligraphic marble in the Ghulam Gardish, with some entrances and facilities temporarily restricted for safety during construction.
- Officials say the upgrades aim to provide modern facilities and improved infrastructure for millions of devotees while preserving the shrine’s religious, historical, and architectural significance.
- Data Darbar is a centuries‑old Sufi site that draws large crowds, so authorities warn that phased work may cause short-term access limits and say future updates will report revised timelines and measures to ease pilgrim access.
