Marred serenity

Golra Sharif is a small town that is famous for a mausoleum dedicated to a revered spiritual figure and Sufi saint, Pir Syed Mehr Ali Shah Gilani. The shrine attracts thousands of devotees and pilgrims, especially during annual festivals and Urs celebrations. The site is a symbol of cultural heritage, attracting people from various walks of life who come to experience its spiritual ambiance and learn about its rich history. However, this area is currently facing challenges due to poor management and neglect.

The roads in Glora Sharif are riddled with potholes, the construction is haphazard, and the once pristine nullah that flows through it has now been reduced to a trash dump, tarnishing its natural beauty. It is imperative for the management to take immediate action to improve the dilapidated condition of the town.
