Waqf Board Halts Encroachment on Manikonda Dargah Land
Imagine a piece of land with a 400-year-old tomb on it, like a historical park.
This land belongs to the Waqf Board, which takes care of it.
Over time, people have been taking over parts of it.
Now, the Waqf Board is trying to stop these people from building on the land.
They're checking the land papers because there's some confusion about who owns what.
Also, nearby land has also been taken over, leaving very little of the original plot.
The Waqf Board is trying to protect the old buildings and the land from being damaged or lost.
Encroachment occurred on Dargah Saadullah Hussaini Waqf land in Manikonda.
A colony for Secretariat employees was built on a major part of the land.
Land grabbers have been encroaching on the remaining land.
The Waqf Board stopped encroachment activities on Friday.
The Board will review land documents due to unclear records.
