Come November, it will be five years since the State government sealed the records’ room of the Telangana State Waqf Board (TSWB), a panel that deals with the administration of Muslim endowments.
The Waqf Board also looks into issues concerning the protection of waqf properties, including by means of litigation.
It, therefore, comes as a surprise that despite nearly five years, the TSWB, which is an autonomous body, has not succeeded in getting its own records’ room, a place where crucial unsealed records are stored. The board is yet to take its full possession from the Revenue department which, reportedly acting on the instructions of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, had sealed it in the presence of police.
