Building of Tomb
Initially the building of Sahib's tomb was made of mud. Before 1970 Sadat of Kirani had a brick and concrete boundary wall built and a main gate installed. After that in 1973,the than prime minister Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (Shaheed) provided the money for the tomb's renovation. Further improvements were also made in 2006.
Present Day Construction: In 2008, due to alarming increase in population in the immediate vicinity of the tomb, there was the danger of desecration of the tomb and the adjoining 600-year-old graveyard of the Sadat of Kirani, therefore the Government of Balochistan built a fortified boundary wall around the tomb as well as the graveyard.Chief Minister of Balochistan Mr Nawab Aslam Raisani signed a grant of Rs, fifty lakh for this project. The Chief Minister of Balochistan Nawab Mohammed Aslam Raisani's father Mr. Nawab Ghous Bakhsh Rayesani (late) was also a close ally of the Sadat of Kirani. Another person who played an important role in the construction of this boundary wall was Mr. Mir Haji Ali Mudad Jatak (Minister for food Balochistan). This project was possible because of his relentless efforts.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or tomb:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
