In Hyderabad, gated communities protest land for a Muslim graveyard despite Wakf ownership

Location: Hyderabad, Telangana

Tensions flared in Jubilee Hills and Erragadda, Hyderabad, after residents of several gated communities — including Kalpataru, Brigade, and Vasavi- protested the government’s decision to allocate land for a Muslim graveyard (kabristan) near their neighborhoods. Protesters raised objections citing “safety” and “congestion” concerns and demanded that the state government revoke the order and find an alternative location. Officials clarified that the land already belonged to the Wakf Board and that no new allotment had been made.
