After quashing the Haryana Waqf Board, the BJP-JJP combine Haryana government has issued Haryana Waqf Rules of 2021.

Most of its properties have been digitalized, a step towards transparency and integrity of land data.

The rules pertain to appointment of chief executive and members of the Board, besides removal of encroachment from Waqf properties.

The government had in August last year quashed the Haryana Waqf Board and appointed former MLA Zakir Hussain as its administrator.

 Currently, the board is managing 12,505 properties across the state.

To check encroachments the Haryana Waqf Board has done GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping of its properties.
