Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 12 –
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, while making an announcement in the Assembly today, said that if Shamlat Deh land from any village in Haryana has been transferred to the Waqf Board, a thorough investigation of the same will be conducted.
He said that a committee will be formed under the chairmanship of Rohtak Divisional Commissioner to investigate the Peer Bodhi issue, located on the Rohtak-Gohana road. Karnal Divisional Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner Rohtak also serve as members of the committee. The committee will meticulously examine all relevant facts and records associated with this issue.
The Chief Minister said that the government has taken the Peer Bodhi issue, raised by a member in the House, very seriously. Preliminary investigations have revealed that in 1967-68, this land was Shamlat Deh land. In 1990, the Government of India notified the land in the name of the Punjab Waqf Board. Subsequently, this land was registered as a cemetery, and it is now in the name of the Waqf Board.
