Waqf Board Clarifies Survey Error, Relief for Malkajgiri Property Owners
In a place called Malkajgiri in India, many people own homes and land.
Some government records made a mistake and said their land belonged to a different village called Mallapur.
Because of that mistake, these owners were not allowed to sell or register their property.
About 10,000 people and families were affected by this problem.
The Telangana Waqf Board, a government group that looks after certain land, looked into the mistake.
They checked official papers and found which land really belonged to each village.
On July 29, they sent a message explaining which survey numbers belong to Mallapur and which belong to Malkajgiri.
They also asked for the official gazette to be corrected so the records would be right.
People whose land was wrongly listed are happy because they can finally deal with their property again.
Nearly 10,000 property owners in Malkajgiri get relief as the Telangana Waqf Board corrects survey errors on the 22A-prohibited list.
Survey numbers belonging to Mallapur village were wrongly listed as Malkajgiri, blocking property sales and registrations.
A July 29 communication confirmed survey Nos. 3, 103-105, 145-147 and 148-154 belong to Mallapur, not Malkajgiri.
The board forwarded the matter for correction and gazette publication, flagging discrepancies between gazettes from 1987, 1989 and 2001.
Devinagar resident Subramanyam learned of the issue while applying for an encumbrance certificate; clearance may take another month.
