Telangana sources have stated that the Telangana government ordered the sealing of the records section and other related wings in the State Waqf Board. A team led by RDO Chandrakala and a battery of other officials, including MROs sealed the offices of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Moreover sources said it is learnt that in a review meeting conducted recently, the waqf board officials were unable to furnish satisfactory responses which prompted Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao to order the sealing of records, followed by a thorough probe. Further the government proposes to set up a special team comprising high level officials to inquire into allegations of rampant corruption in the board.
