Criminal cases will be registered against Mathavallis: Abdul Aziz
Nellore: WaQF Board Chairman Sheikh Abdul Aziz reaffirmed the coalition government's commitment to protecting Waqf Board properties, warning that criminal cases will be filed against board members (Mutawallis) found responsible for illegally selling Waqf properties. Speaking at a press conference in Vijayawada on Saturday, Aziz announced that an ongoing inquiry into the sale of Waqf properties will lead to strict action against guilty members. 'Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is resolute about safeguarding Waqf properties, and there will be no compromise,' he stated. Aziz highlighted that the Central government halted funding to the Waqf Board due to the previous YSRCP government's failure to submit utilisation certificates for Rs 386 crore. He noted that the issue has been raised with Chief Minister Naidu, who is addressing it with the Central government. The Chairman announced the formation of a Rent Review Committee (RRC) to manage rents from approximately 1,300 Waqf Board shops. To address issues like property sales and rent disputes, future Waqf Board meetings will be held across all districts, moving away from the earlier practice of convening only in Vijayawada. Aziz also revealed that the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) applied to establish an MSME Park at Mallayapalem village in Guntur mandal. The Waqf Board decided to lease the land long-term to APIIC instead of permanently transferring it. Additionally, Rs 1.5 crore has been allocated for the development of Barashahid Dargah in Vijayawada, with further funds designated for the development of Kasumur and AS Pet Dargahs. Waqf Board Director SK Nasir stated that rental income will support the education of underprivileged Muslim students, their marriages, and the state government's P-4 initiative.

A.P. Waqf Board plans to support poor Muslims through P4 initiative
Andhra Pradesh Waqf Board is putting all its efforts to implement the P4 (Public Private People Partnership) initiative to provide security and support to the poor Muslim families in the State. A.P. Waqf Board Chairman Abdul Azeez announced this while speaking at the fourth State-level meeting at Command Control Room of the Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) office on Saturday. The P-4 is a poverty alleviation programme launched by Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on March 30. According to the initiative, rich and affluent people who come forward to uplift the poor as 'Margadarsi' (guides) would support the beneficiary families called as 'Bangaru Kutumbam' (golden family). Addressing the media after the meeting, Mr. Abdul Azeez said that the Waqf Board is exploring the ways to generate income from its properties across the State, while protecting them from alienation. Particularly, a Rent Review Committee will be formed at the State level to review the rents of 1,300 shops directly managed by the board in various areas, he informed. He alleged that the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government had not only stalled the development works of the Waqf Board, but also not submitted the utilisation certificate for ₹386-crore funds sanctioned by the Union government. So, the Centre has not sanctioned any new funds. 'The Chief Minister spoke about this issue with the Centre, and worked to resolve the problem soon,' he added. The Waqf Board chief informed that criminal cases will be filed against the 'Mutawallis' (trustees) who sold out the Waqf lands in the State. He further said that an application was received from the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to set up an MSME park at Mallayapalem in Guntur district, and the land will be leased on a long-term basis without changing the title and ownership.
