Srinagar

The minaret of the Sufi saint Sheikh Norani's shrine at Chrar-e-Sharief shrine in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district was restored on Wednesday.

The minaret was tilted after an earthquake that jolted Kashmir Valley on February 5. There was damage to the main building.

Officials said that the work has been completed and the minaret has been restored to its original position.

The administration had immediately intervened in support of the Waqf Board and now the metal portion of the minaret has been restored to its original position, officials said.

Revered equally by both the local Muslims and Hindus, the saint is called 'Nund Rishi' by the Kashmiri Pandits.
