Speaking to The Hans India Shafi said that as the Shaban would start within a month in which Shab-e-Meraj and Shab-e-Barat (Muslims believe that on this night, God writes the destinies of all men, for the coming year and most visit graveyards of deceased family members) are observed by devout by staying awake throughout the night while praying.
"To oversee the arrangements, we have visited Osmania Masjid graveyard, Idara Milia Masjid and Padma Nagar's graveyard in Old Malakpet. During the visit we inspected the graveyards and its surrounding areas and instructed the officers for cleaning of graveyards," said Shafi.
He said that the cleaning works include, clearing the pathways by trimming and reshaping trees, restoration of boundary walls and whitewashing etc. "In graveyards we also decided to install the streetlights to avoid inconvenience for the people visiting graveyards. The works will start within 10 days and shall be completed within a month," he added.
