LUCKNOW: The government of Uttar Pradesh has made the decision to investigate all the properties listed as Waqf.
District administrations have been tasked by the state government with conducting an inspection of these sites and submitting their findings within a month.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has reportedly ordered a probe into all real estate registrations that occurred "in violation of the 1995 Waqf Act or under a government directive passed in April 1989 that permitted the registration of Usar, Banjar, and Bhita lands as Waqf property."

The deputy secretary in the Yogi Adityanath government, Shakeel Ahmed,  has written a letter to the Minority Welfare Department, Director and  Survey Commissioner of Minority Welfare, District Minority Welfare officers, Chief Executive Officer  Shia & Sunni Waqf Board and Revenue officials regarding the matter.

It is believed that the government is determined to prevent the illicit ownership and transfer of Waqf-related properties.
The government of Uttar Pradesh began surveying the independent madrasas earlier this month and gave district magistrates instructions on how to conduct the inspections.

In a statement on the subject, Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind stated that it has no problems to the Uttar Pradesh government's survey of unaffiliated madrasas.

Regarding the survey, there is no disagreement among us. We have instructed the clerics to give correct answers to whatever questions are asked to them and should cooperate fully in the survey,” Maulana Arshad Madani had said in a media briefing.
