Encroachment on 60% of the Waqf Board lands in the state

• The land will be used for residential and commercial use

• Funds will be used for the development of Muslims

Mumbai – Encroachment on Waqf Board lands in the state is more than 60 per cent. Now that the Waqf Act has been passed, the Government wants to remove these encroachments on the lands from the state. For this, ‘GIS mapping’ (‘GIS mapping’ means a way to prove maps that collect information and location information) will be done. Residential and commercial establishments will be built on these encroached lands. It is understood that the funds generated from this will be used to benefit the Muslims. (Why a one-sided attempt to benefit only the Muslim community ? Why is no one saying why is this fund not for the development of other religions ? – Editor)

Nizam-era documents from Bhagyanagar will be used as the basis for GIS mapping. So far, no survey has been done for these properties. There are currently 23,566 registered Waqf properties in the state, covering an area of ​​37,330 hectares.
