NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel has refused to accept that the lockdown due to the pandemic could have played a major role in preventing the ministry of minority affairs (MoMA) from meeting the March 2020 target of GIS mapping of 50% of all Waqf properties in the country. The standing committee on social justice and empowerment cites the reply filed by MoMA to point out that “the target date has been revised as March, 2022, which seems to be more realistic”. There are over 6 lakh Waqf properties and GIS mapping is cited by MoMA as one of the main objectives of the computerisation of the records of the State Waqf Boards to prevent encroachment of Waqf properties. When MoMA filed its reply before the standing committee in June it stated that 96,000 properties had been geotagged. As of today around 1.21 lakh Waqf properties have been GIS mapped as per the Central Waqf Council and officials told TOI that work has picked up pace.
