Bengal begins uploading Waqf property records to central portal

The West Bengal government has started putting details of Waqf properties (special religious properties) into a central website called UMEED.

The central government asked all states to do this by December 5.

Only properties that are not being disputed should be added.

The state government is telling local officials to explain this to mosque leaders and teachers.

Some people who take care of these properties are unhappy because they say the state board is not helping them.

But the government says they have to do this quickly because the courts have not stopped the new rules.

The Supreme Court will decide on December 1 if the deadline should be extended because some people say it's too hard to do everything in time.
