Shabbir Ali was speaking to media persons after conducting a review meeting with the officials of the Minorities Welfare Department, Telangana State Wakf Board and Haj Committee at the Haj House, Nampally on Wednesday.
He said that the ‘Garden View Wakf Mall’, which has been pending for the last 17 years, would be completed soon.

The foundation for the ‘Garden View Wakf Mall’ was laid on February 22, 2009, and construction was started. The structure of seven floors and two cellars was completed during the Congress regime. However, Shabbir Ali said that the previous BRS Government did not touch the project for almost 10 years. Consequently, the under-construction building has been lying idle despite so much investment.
Shabbir Ali directed the officials to invite fresh tenders to complete the project. He said that the ‘Garden View Wakf Mall’ would have a restaurant and other offices. It would be used for accommodating Haj pilgrims for one month every year. In the remaining 11 months, the building would be used for other purposes, including providing boarding facilities to students who come from far off to study for Civil Services and other exams.

Shabbir Ali also informed that elaborate arrangements are being made for the Haj season 2024. He said that nearly 10,000 Haj pilgrims, including those from neighbouring Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, would leave for the holy journey from the Hyderabad Embarkation Point.

Regarding the Wakf Board, he said that a detailed review meeting would be held soon to study the status of Wakf properties in Telangana. He said that the previous BRS Government had ruined the Wakf institutions by not ensuring their protection. He said that the status of vigilance reports and even the Wakf records which were sealed are not known. However, he said that a detailed review meeting would be held soon to ensure that all properties and their records are protected. Further, he said that the vacancies in the Wakf Board, including 317 Wakf Inspectors’ posts, would be filled within a year in a phased manner.
Further, Shabbir Ali said that the efforts to implement Urdu as the second official language in Telangana would be revived. He accused the previous KCR Government of destroying the Urdu Academy and its computer centres and libraries by not giving it funds and manpower. Consequently, he said, the Urdu Academy has been reduced to a dummy institution. He said that the Urdu Academy would be strengthened.
