Row in Tiruchendurai: Tensions rise in Tiruchendurai over Waqf claim

In the heart of Tamil Nadu’s Tiruchendurai village, a land dispute has emerged over the ownership of a temple property. The Tamil Nadu Waqf Board claims 380 acres of land but locals insist the land has been temple property for generations. Tensions are rising as Hindus and Muslims demand clarity on the historical documents that could determine the rightful ownership. This issue has gained national attention following the proposed Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which aims to give the Union government more control over Waqf properties. The Federal explores the raging controversy, the historical significance of the land, and the personal stories of residents caught in the middle.
