State Waqf Board sprung into action soon after the publication of news in Siasat on January 14, regarding the Qutub Shahi Masjid located at Mujahedpur village of Cherla Rangareddy. It must be noted that 500 year old masjid located at the lake of Mujahedpur village is an architectural masterpiece. Its niche is built with Sang-e-Musa hence smugglers are eying on it. Detailed report published in Siasat created distress among dishonest elements.
Special officer Waqf Board Mr. Mohammed Jalaluddin Akber sent a 7-member task force team led by former CEO Mr. Abdul Ghaffar to review the situation and take protective measures.
According to experts, precious stones were used in construction of masajid during Qutub Shahi era and the Mihrab of the said masjid had also been carved in a precious stone.
