A seven-storey structure, intended to generate revenue for the Waqf Board, has been lying vacant for nearly a decade, thanks to a decision paralysis.
Touted as the Waqf Garden View Mall in 2012, spread over a prime and immensely valuable land parcel in Hyderabad, opposite one of the city’s prime lung spaces - the Public Gardens - and a stone’s throw from the Telangana State Legislative Assembly, the structure was slated to be let out to companies. But now, despite all that is working in its favour - the centrality of location included - it lies in a state of disrepair.
The cold shell G+7 structure with two basements on an approximately 3,800 square yard land parcel was completed in 2012, at a time when Syed Ghulam Afzal Biyabani served as the Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh State Waqf Board.
