Appointment of Waqf Board CEO hits hurdle

Government’s efforts to appoint Chief Executive Officer in Waqf Board to improve the performance of the Board are being thwarted by some corners. Government is interested to appoint a high official belonging to revenue department as the Chief Executive Officer of Waqf Board. In this connection the file was sent to Chief Minister’s Office after Secretary Minority Welfare’s approval. in the meantime the file is reportedly lost before it could reach Chief Minister’s Office.
