Mangaluru: Wakf Welfare Committee leader and human rights activist Haneef Saheb Pajaplla informed that the Wakf Board has issued a notice to 7 people asking them to attend for an inquiry on June 9. The Board’s move came after the complaint of Wakf Welfare Committee that has accused that a building has been constructed illegally on Wakf land.

Addressing media persons at a private hotel in the city on Wednesday, he said that 69 cents land located near Bandar’s Golikitte Bazaar with S.No 670/1 had been illegally bought by a Mutavalli of Bandar Kacchi Juma Masjid. Then he constructed a building illegally by spending crores of rupees. Based on the complaint filed in this regard, the state Wakf Board has issued a notice.

“The land was registered in the Wakf Board in 1968. So this is a Wakf property. No individual is allowed to misuse this property. But the Mutawalli is misusing this property. Also, the rooms around the mosque are given on less rent. He has made an illegal contract with the tenants and taking thousands of rupees as rent,” Haneef accused.

Advocate Navin G, Farooq, and others were present.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.

“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.

The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.

Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
