Wakf Board not interested in protecting property at Balapur

Hyderabad: Wakf Board is not showing any interest for the protection of Qutub Shahi Tombs located at Balapur. This was exposed when CEO of Wakf Board, Mr. Abdul Hameed pleaded ignorance about this issue when a delegation led by Mr. Osman Mohammed Khan, Vice President, Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee invited his attention.

When Mr. Osman produced documentary evidence to the CEO, he exhibited least interest.

He told that with the present staff, Wakf Board is not in a position to protect Wakf Properties.

Mr. Khan pointed out that Joint Collector of RR District has fixed 19th October as the date for hearing the claims of ownership of this property.

He demanded the CEO of Wakf Board that a senior advocate should be appointed for protecting this property.

He also mentioned that this property falls under the jurisdiction of Chandrayangutta Assembly Constituency and the local MLA had claimed that he would protect this property but at present it is in the possession of illegal occupants.
