Waqf Property Registration Lags on New UMEED Portal
The government launched a new online portal called UMEED to keep track of Waqf properties.
However, not many people are using it yet.
Waqf properties are like religious or charitable lands.
The old system had lots of properties registered, but the new one doesn't.
People are worried about why the new portal isn't being used.
The new system is designed to make sure all information is accurate and easily accessible for everyone to see.
New portal UMEED aims to improve Waqf property management.
Only 69 Waqf makers have submitted property details on the UMEED portal.
Over 872,000 properties are recorded on the older WAMSI portal.
Concerns arise regarding Waqf boards' reluctance to register properties.
The portal features a three-tier verification system to ensure accountability.
