Haj and Muzrai Minister Shashikala Jolle has said that a survey had been ordered to ascertain the status of about 46,000 Wakf properties across Karnataka in a bid to protect them.
Speaking to reporters, Ms. Jolle said there were more than 32,300 Wakf institutions and over 46,000 properties in the state.
She suggested that if open Wakf spaces are developed, revenue can be generated, which can be utilised for the development of the community. “There is paucity of finance to appoint advocates to fight cases in court to protect hundreds of crores worth properties that are now under litigation. It would help if the Central Wakf Council bear the legal cost, and result in quicker resolution in courts,” she said.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
