Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has reiterated that the disputed Munambam land is not a Waqf property, amid a controversy over its registration on the central government’s Waqf portal. The land, spanning 404 acres, was registered on the ‘Umeed’ portal by the state Waqf Board, which claims it as Waqf property.

The registration was done under the new Waqf amendment rules, which require all Waqf properties to be digitally registered on the central portal. However, the Munambam Action Committee has challenged this, arguing that the land lacks the necessary documents—such as tax receipts, title deeds, and transfer records—required for Waqf registration. The committee has submitted a petition to the Chief Minister demanding the immediate removal of the land from the portal.

Chief Minister Vijayan clarified that his government does not consider the land as Waqf property and will proceed accordingly. He noted that the registration was carried out by the previous Waqf Board appointed during the Left government’s tenure, and the current government has not yet reconstituted the board. The matter is also pending before the Waqf Tribunal.
