The Maharashtra government on Friday withdrew its order to provide Rs 10 crore to strengthen the Maharashtra State Waqf Board, state Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik said.
The development comes a day after a government resolution (GR) was issued in which the state administration ordered distribution of funds worth Rs 10 crore to strengthen the state Waqf board.
When asked if the GR has been withdrawn, Sonic confirmed the development.
As per 28 November GR, Rs 20 crore was earmarked for 2024-25 to strengthen Maharashtra State Waqf Board (MSBW). Out of that, Rs 2 crore was distributed to the MSBW headquarters located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
