New Delhi: The Lieutenant Governor (LG) of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha has added to the new members of the Waqf Board, saying that the board should build schools, colleges, industrial training institutes and hospitals to serve the 1.25 crore people of the Union Territory. He also said that the board should also consider setting up multi-purpose community halls, girls' hostels, Hunar Haats and skill development centres.

Sinha further said that the board is now functioning as per the Central Waqf Act. This will bring transparency to the administration of Waqf properties and create an environment for the use of properties to benefit the community in a big way. Manoj Sinha also felicitated the newly appointed Chairman of the Board, Dr Darshan Andrabi and members Dr Ghulam Nabi Halim, Syed Mohammad Hussain, Sohail Kazmi and Nawab Din during the event.

Manoj Sinha said, "I have been told that there are currently more than 32,000 registered Waqf properties in Jammu and Kashmir. Many of these properties have the potential to give a lot of returns, which can be used for the socio-economic development of the community." Adding, "In India, we have always followed and propagated the principle of Sarva Dharma Sambhav. Through this Indian tradition, all of you should do your social welfare activities and development work in the coming time through the Waqf Board.
