Telangana Waqf Board battles to reclaim 50,000 acres of encroached land

The Telangana Waqf Board is currently engaged in over 3,500 legal battles to reclaim approximately 50,000 acres of encroached land. The board attributes the encroachments to their past failure to protect the land, the revenue department’s inaction in mutating land records, and delays in issuing gazette notifications.
