There was a dispute over the recent Waqf law in Tiruchendurai village of Tamil Nadu. Now Syed Ali Sultan Shah Dargah has issued notice by Syed Ali Sultan Shah Dargah in Katikollai village in Anakattu taluka in Vellore district. More than 150 families have been sent notice in Kattukukolai village of Vellore district saying that their property is of Waqf.
In the notice issued by the dargah, the villagers were asked to make a formal agreement with the Waqf and pay the rent of the land to the Dargah Planning. Not only this, in the event of not paying rent, it has also been asked to vacate the land. It has been said in the notice that if this is not done, then the land will be considered encroachment and they will be withdrawn under Waqf laws.
