MULTAN - The three-day annual 773rd Urs celebrations of Saint Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani concluded here on Friday with special prayers for the progress, prosperity and security of the country. The concluding session of the Urs was held at 10:00am. The proceedings were chaired by Shah Mahmood Qureshi while Pir Mukarram Shah, former federal minister Syed Hamid Saeed Kazmi and Mufti Ghulam Mustafa Rizvi were the guests of honour. Although a big number of faithful returned to their hometowns, yet a large number of Sindhis and other faithful were seen on the spot.
Speaking on the occasion, caretaker of the shrine Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the society badly needed the teachings of saints and Sufis as all of them gave the message of love and peace. The Urs ended peacefully as no untoward incident took place. Heavy police contingents were deployed at all areas adjoining to the court.
