Several individuals have been fighting for years in Court to protect the temple at Durgadi Fort. Prominent among them are Dinesh Deshmukh, Surendra Bhalekar, and Parag Teli.
Every farmer in Talegaon somehow manages a living out of farming and menial labour. The farmers wonder how they will get through if the land is lost.
If the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government in Andhra Pradesh can take such a bold step to dissolve the State Waqf Board then similar actions must be considered by governments across the country.
He was speaking at a BJP program organized in the temple area of Taggahalli village in Mandya taluka. The Waqf Board is choking the farmers’ land. We will fight against it, he clarified.
Why is such a warning needed ? Why don’t the Police take action on their own ?
The farmers then went to court in August 2022. After a long hearing, finally 315 farmers got their land rights back.
Additionally, the area has been painted green, and events for a so-called ‘Urus’ are being organized there. Hindu organisations have urged the district administration to take action in this matter.
The Waqf Board is trying to illegally control the land and property of the villagers of Munambam and Cherai.
The Waqf Board is a grave issue and has become a significant problem today. Between 2008 and 2024, Waqf properties have expanded by 1.2 million acres, suggesting misuse of the act.
After Vijayapur, a discussion regarding the issue of Waqf Board’s name in the land records of Hindu farmers in Dharwad District has started.
