MALDA, 31 JULY: Following the instruction of the minister of state for minority development and madrassa education, the district land and reforms department had sent a report on encroachment of wakf lands across the district to its higher authorities in November last year but no further instruction has been received for its recovery.
The additional district magistrate, land and reforms, Mr KN Dew said: “After completion of thorough survey the report has already been sent to our higher authorities but still no further instruction is yet to be received to follow it up”.

We are waiting for fresh order”, Mr Dew said. The minority development department had issued an order to conduct a survey to find out the status of the wakf land across the state with a view to utilizing the land properly with multipurpose objectives for the development of minority.
