Nagpur: Hundreds of devotees visiting Dargah of Hazrat Baba Tajuddin at Motha Tajbagh are being put in lot of hardships due to non-completion of various development works such as interior roads, platform around main Dargah, compound wall of Urs Ground, shopping complex, toilets, bathrooms etc. The situation is likely to worsen during the annual Urs of Hazrat Baba Tajuddin scheduled to be held from October 24 to 30, 2016 as thousands of devotees and pilgrim will throng the place from the city as well as nearby states to seek blessings of Baba.
The construction of various facilities is going at snail’s pace despite contracts were awarded almost two years ago. The State Government has declared to transform Dargah of Hazrat Baba Tajuddin as a major tourism place. Accordingly, various works are going on. With the concerned contractors playing truant, many of the development works have not been completed within the stipulated period. The outcome is troublesome. The Dargah premises is in very precarious condition due to careless contractors. The rains have rendered the premises around Dargah muddy and difficult for pilgrims to walk and reach Dargah.
