Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Oct 19: Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi, Chairperson of the Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board, received payment from shopkeepers whose shops had been sealed by the Waqf Board the previous evening. Seven shops in Auqaf Market Lal Chowk were sealed due to the shopkeepers' failure to deposit their outstanding rent amount, despite multiple notices and warnings. Dr. Andrabi pointed out that, even with the rent increase, the Lal Chowk properties are rented out at much lower rates compared to the business hub rates in Srinagar. She stressed that if the allottees do not clear the outstanding rent, their shops will remain sealed.
