Hyderabad: The Telangana State Wakf Board is planning to start a charitable hospital and also a medical college in the State.
The proposal was discussed during the Board's second meeting held at Haj House on Monday. It was presided by Wakf Board's chairman Mohammad Saleem.
Briefing the media later, Saleem said that the Wakf Board would soon start a charitable hospital for poor Muslims. Further, he said that a medical college too would be started after discussing the proposal with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. He assured that the Wakf Board would provide financial assistance to poor Muslims suffering from heart and kidney ailments. He also guaranteed to issue monthly pensions to divorcees and widows. He stated that the Board's Chief Executive Officer has been asked to prepare a detailed report on these proposals.
Saleem said that the Board has set aside an order issued by previous CEO in December last year extending the term of Mutawalli of Dargah Yousufain, Abul Fateh Syed Shah Hasan Shabbir Mohammed Al-Hussaini, for three years. He said that Mutawalli's term would end in July this year.
He also said that the Guttala Begumpet Masjid would be taken under direct management of Wakf Board. He said that this decision has been taken to protect its properties worth several hundred crores. The Wakf Board chairman further said that global tenders would be called to give commercial Waqf properties in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy on lease for 30 years.
He said tenders were also being called for renovation of Haj House. Similarly, tenders will also be called for hundi of Dargah Hazrath Jahangir Peeran, Dargah Hazrath Janpak Shaheed and Dargah Bada Pahad.
