New row erupts in Mandya over Waqf Board claims

Mandya: In a continuation of the ongoing dispute involving the Waqf Board in the State, a new controversy has emerged in Mandya.
The Waqf Board has claimed ownership of lands belonging to a Government school in Chandagalu and the Sri Chikkamma Chikkadevi Temple in Mahadevapura, both located in Srirangapatna Taluk.
The Waqf Board’s assertion has sparked anger among villagers, who have criticised the district administration and the State Government for allowing this situation to unfold. The residents of Mahadevapura were shocked to  discover discrepancies in the Temple’s documents.
