Udupi :  Nakwa Yahya, President of District Wakf Board, said on Nov 25, that the district administration had undertaken a survey of all waqf properties to identify if there was any encroachment.

Addressing presspersons here, Mr. Yahya said that District Waqf Board did not have proper information on about 194 acres of properties coming under the Board. There was also a Lokayukta probe going on in the matter. The District Administration was conducting a land survey of the wakf properties in the district.

Only after the land survey was completed, one would know if there was any encroachment and its extent.

The District Wakf Board will organize a district-level wakf information workshop at the Zilla Panchayat Hall at Rajatadri here at 10 a.m. on December 21.

The objective of the workshop was to give information about the government facilities available for wakf institutions. Another objective was to update records of all mosques. There were 50 gazette notified wakf institutions/organizations and there were 71 additional wakf institutions. This brought the total number of wakf institutions (including mosques and madrasas) to 121.

Already the survey work of 39 wakf institutions had been completed. The survey work of remaining wakf institutions was going on. The Deputy Commissioner had already directed the tahsildars to complete the survey work, said Mr. Yahya.
