Visited Haji Ali Dargah today after years and here’s what I observed

  1. The Dargah is being run very poorly by the trust. No proper infrastructure and no around to assist or provide any sort of control/support.
  2. The route towards the Dargah has improved massively, the tunnel like structure built in the route helps in the scorching heat. Very well appreciated.
  3. The no of beggars has reduced a lot. Years ago, the place was filled with beggars of all sorts, the numbers have gone down significantly.
  4. No of shops have reduced as well. Not sure about the reason but the no of shops in the route have reduced a lot, including shops that used to sell religious books.
  5. Less police officials around the area, again, not sure the reason but hardly found any police official there.
  6. The Dargah appears to be less money hungry compared to other Dargah’s.
  7. People are dirty who don’t care about the cleanliness about the very holy place they pray at
