Wakf land cleared of encroachments with help of Cyberabad Police

Hyderabad: The Wakf Board officials with the help of Cyberabad Police evicted illegal encroachment on nearly 16 acre of Dargah Hazrat Mir Mahmood Pahadi’s Wakf land here in Attapur under Rajendernagar mandal on Tuesday.

According to the officials, land under survey number 229 and 331 was vacated from encroachers, whose claims were rejected by the Wakf Tribunal which upheld that the land belongs to Wakf Board.

Responding to queries, Wakf officials said that as per their record, Dargah Hazrat Mir Mahmood Pahadi has 600 acres of Wakf land, but over 80 percent land had been grabbed by the locals.

Meanwhile, Wakf Board Chairman Mohammed Saleem along with the two MIM legislators on Tuesday inspected the Wakf land under Dargah Roohullah Bandagi situated in Ibrahim Bagh Neknaampura.

He



admitted that acres of Wakf land situated in Ibrahim Bagh Neknampura and Mir Mahmood Ki Pahadi in Attapur had been encroached by the land grabbers due to the negligence of revenue and Wakf officials in previous governments.

He had called a joint meeting of revenue and Cyberabad police officials on Thursday to review the complaints of encroachment on these lands. He said encroachment of not even a single inch land would be allowed and Chief Minister KChandrashekhar Rao had directed no encroachments should be allowed.

MIM MLA Bahadurpura and Wakf Board member Mozam Khan said his party had been demanding on getting Wakf land vacated from the cluthces of land sharks for a decade but no action had been taken so far and expressed hope that the State government now would take serious action against the encroachers of Wakf land.
