Uttarakhand Waqf Board to Distribute 'Modi-Dhami' Eid Kits

The Uttarakhand Waqf Board announced plans to distribute 'Modi-Dhami' kits containing food and clothing to impoverished Muslims for Eid. Additionally, the board will address rent issues and encroachments on Waqf properties, with a temporary tribunal to be established and stricter rent collection enforced.

The Uttarakhand Waqf Board has unveiled its decision to distribute free 'Modi-Dhami' food kits to underprivileged Muslims across the state during Eid, chairman Shadab Shams revealed on Thursday.

These kits include essentials like milk, rice, sugar, vermicelli, and dry fruits. In a first-ever online meeting led by Shams, the board also decided to offer free clothing for children and to establish a temporary state level Waqf Tribunal to resolve encroachment issues.

The board also committed to revising rent policies on commercially used Waqf properties, setting it at market or circle rates, with a crackdown planned on illegal occupants post-Eid.
