Water crisis at Dargah Yousufain leaves devotees struggling

In an incident that highlights the callous attitude of the Telangana Waqf Board, devotees visiting the Dargah Yousufain at Nampally are facing immense problems after the water pump at the shrine developed a technical snag.

The problem has persisted for the past four days, and visitors are forced to perform ablution by taking water in mugs from the barrels. Locals end up bringing water from



different sources and filling the barrel all day.

A flower vendor, Mohd Shakeel (name changed), said that water is pumped into the tank using a motor pump. The water from the tank is supplied through taps for ablution and washrooms. “It’s been four days since the managers did not bother to get the motor pump repaired. People are facing a lot of problems due to the delay,” said Shakeel.
