Road Construction on Waqf Land in Hyderabad Faces Legal Concerns
What happened
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is constructing a cement concrete road on Waqf land belonging to Toli Mosque in Karwan, which is intended to improve connectivity between Puranapul and Langar Houz. Activists allege that the land has faced encroachment for 25 years and that the road was laid without following due process for land acquisition or providing compensation to the Waqf Board. A drainage pipeline has also been laid over more than four acres of the 27.30 acres of Waqf land and graveyard.
