The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has no ownership of the land on which the Idgah Maidan in Chamarajpet stands on, said Chief Civic Commissioner Tushar Giri Nath. He invited the Karnataka State Board of Auqaf to submit relevant documents and make a claim before the civic body and get a khata done in its name.
For the past three weeks, the ownership of Idgah Maidan had turned controversial after a few Hindutva organisations sought permission from the BBMP to hold events on the ground.
“Since the BBMP doesn’t have ownership of the land and there is an injunction against the civic body from entering the property, there is no question of the civic body permitting others to hold events on the grounds,” he said.
