in the Indian state of Uttarakhand to participate in the annual Urs of Hazrat
Khawaja Allauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir (RA) from 30 November-7 December 2017, says a
press release received here today from India.
The Zaireen, accompanied by officials
of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Pakistan High Commission, laid the
traditional Chaddar at Rouza Sharif and offered Dua.
