Amidst the ongoing row over the ownership of Idgah Maidan, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Tuesday sent a letter to the Karnataka State Board of Wakfs to provide ownership documents. A three-day deadline has been given to the board to provide the documents for the 2 acre 10 gunta land.
The letter comes after the BBMP ordered that status quo should be maintained on the property until a report is submitted by the legal cell of the civic body.
Speaking to The Hindu, S.M. Srinivasa, Joint Commissioner (West Zone), BBMP, said “There is some confusion now and they are claiming that it is their land. That is why we have sent them [the Wakf Board] a notice asking them to submit proof of ownership to us within three days”.
