The planes that took off from the runway developed some or the other problems for which there was no specific reason. Later, the idea was dropped," said Imam Sahab while narrating a belief."The devotees believe that if they make a wish at the Dargah, it will come true.

I find peace when I come here. People from different communities can come here irrespective of their religious faiths.""I have been coming here for the past 4 to 5 years.
