Section of ceiling at Ajmer Dargah collapses due to heavy rains

A section of the ceiling at the Ajmer Dargah collapsed during heavy monsoon rains on Wednesday, triggering outrage among devotees and raising questions over the maintenance of the centuries-old Sufi shrine.

The incident occurred amid a downpour that led to clearing of the visitors’ area, preventing any casualties.



However, the collapse has renewed scrutiny of the Dargah Committee (DC), an autonomous body under the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs, over alleged neglect and lack of safety measures.

Devotees and local religious leaders accused the committee of failing to conduct structural audits or essential repairs despite repeated warnings.
