      <title>Punjab shrines to receive online donations from devotees</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30328101/punjab-shrines-to-receive-online-donations-from-devotees</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Punab’s Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Friday approved a plan for setting up online portals or websites aimed at collecting donations and charity from overseas devotees of the religious shrines located in the province.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The money would be spent on the maintenance and renovation of shrines across the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has been tasked to develop websites where those desiring to contribute would be re-directed to a specific section to make donations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  sm:w-1/2  w-full  media--right  '&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  '&gt;&lt;picture&gt;&lt;img src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2023/07/211629522b088b9.jpg'  alt=' Caretaker CM Punjab Mohsin Naqvi: File photo' /&gt;&lt;/picture&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;figcaption class='media__caption  '&gt;Caretaker CM Punjab Mohsin Naqvi: File photo&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each shrine will have its separate website where devotees will be able to make donations for a specific cause.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, they will be able to specify if their money is spent only on food distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The portal will allow the donors to monitor the distribution process as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For people’s convenience, the portals will enable them to send funds through mobile banking, credit cards, and ATMs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a related development, the government has decided to redesign the shrine of Sufi saint and mystic poet Hazrat Baba Bulleh Shah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The complex of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar’s shrine would be further expanded. To resolve the traffic issues around the shrines, parking, and food center would be established in the basement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  sm:w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  '&gt;&lt;picture&gt;&lt;img src='https://i.aaj.tv/large/2023/07/2116242615b3be8.jpg'  alt=' Shrine of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar Pakpattan, Punjab: File Photo ' /&gt;&lt;/picture&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;figcaption class='media__caption  '&gt;Shrine of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar Pakpattan, Punjab: File Photo&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The caretaker chief minister also directed to expedite the construction works at the shrines of Hazrat Pir Makki and Waris Shah.&lt;/p&gt;
