The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, has become a contentious issue as it proposes key changes to the management of Waqf properties. The original Waqf Act of 1995, enacted to regulate these properties, has faced criticism over mismanagement, corruption, and encroachments.
Aimed at addressing these challenges, the amendment introduces measures such as digitization, stricter audits, increased transparency, and legal provisions to reclaim illegally occupied properties. While supporters argue that the bill will bring much-needed reforms, critics remain divided on its implications.
