Govt. failed to honour agreement to provide alternative land at Chattanchal, alleges MYL
The State Wakf Board has said that it would be compelled to take back the land provided for setting up the Tata COVID hospital, if the district administration fails to honour the agreement to offer alternative land at Chattanchal in Kasaragod.
The board served a notice on Kasaragod District Collector Bhandari Swagat Ranveer Chand based on a letter from the Jamuyyathul Ulama Malabar Islamic Complex, which flayed the alleged delay on the part of the government and the district administration in allotting the land at Chattanchal.
The Wakf land was taken over in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Then District Collector D. Sajith Babu had entered into an agreement with Syed Mohammed Jiffri Muthukoya Thangal, president of the Jamuyyathul Ulama Malabar Islamic Complex Association, following a meeting with the Waqf Board in March 2020.
