Miryalguda, December 4: There are 1 lakh 40 thousand illegal occupations on waqf lands in Hyderabad and surrounding areas. Efforts to end the illegal occupation and to take them in the custody of waqf board are on with the help of revenue. These views were expressed by Chairman state waqf board Mr. Syed Ghulam Afzal Biabani during a conference at R & B guest house at Miryalguda.
He said that due to our negligence and irresponsible attitude in the past, the community had to suffer great losses.

Notices have been issued to more than 5000 illegal occupants in Hyderabad Rangareddy, Nalgonda and other places.
