Nearly 150 families in Kattukollai village in Vellore, Tamilnadu, have been served notices stating that their land falls under Waqf ownership. This has sparked concern among locals, especially after the recent passage of the Waqf Bill. Hindu Munnani member Mahesh claimed that several villages across Vellore are now facing sudden demands for land-related dues. Responding to the issue, F. Syed Satham, who oversees the Kilandal (Nawab) Masjid and Hazrath Syed Ali Sulthan Sha Dargah in Virinchipuram, said the land in question has belonged to their Waqf since 1954, supported by official documents. He explained that the villagers were informed they need only pay land rent and not charges for structures or other taxes. Satham added that all records will soon be submitted to the authorities and the Waqf board for further action. Waqf Amendment Bill 2025: With 17.02 Hours Debate, Waqf Bill Discussion in Rajya Sabha Broke Previous Record of 16.55 Hours.
