The land has been cleared and the foundation stone will be laid on Sunday,” the special secretary said.

Anees ul Ghurba is now run from a small premises opposite the Nampally Ek Minar Masjid. “We are planning to construct a seven-storied building on one acre of land. It will be equipped with best of



facilities,” he said.

The department plans to lease out the first two floors of the complex to commercial establishments. “This way, we will be getting revenue to manage the expenditure of the orphanage.
