Farooqui appealed to all the mutawallis and related institutions to complete their registration process as soon as possible by utilizing the additional time received.

With the extension of time, more and more people will get the opportunity to submit their documents completely, which will further strengthen the Waqf system. All the employees and Mutavalli of the Waqf Board will launch a fresh campaign within 6 months to get every property registered.
