People have been constructing buildings on the graveyards shamelessly. They have been usurping these lands illegally. One such example is that of the graveyard adjacent to Dargah Hazrath Ibadullah Shah, outside Dabeerpura Railway Station. The tragedy is that GHMC is constructing a community hall at a cost of Rs. 10 lakh on the representation of the MLA. It is written on the boundary walls of the graveyard that “There is no space for graves”.
On receiving information about illegal construction of community hall on the land belonging to the dargah, Mr. Zahid Ali Khan, Editor of Siasat Urdu Daily instructed Mr. Osman Al-Hajri to inspect the place. He visited the area and gathered information. The local residents informed him that at the instance of the local MLA of Malakpet constituency, A community is being constructed. It was also known that in order to eradicate unemployment, 5 Mulgies are being constructed on the ground floor and the community hall is being constructed on the first floor. Mr. Osman Al Hajri made a witen complaint about this illegal construction to Commissioner of GHMC and CEO of A.P. State Wakf Board. A copy of this complaint has also been given to Chairman of AP State Wakf Board.
It may be noted that the property belonging to Dargah Hazrath Ibadullah Shah has been entered in Wakf Gazette under serial number 864 dated 8/7/1982 at page number 32 for 25315 sq.yards.
Mr. M.A. Basith, Vice President of TDP of Greater Hyderabad has also requested the Commissioner of GHMC and the CEO of Wakf Board to intervene in this matter and take appropriate action.
