- Both notices were signed on 29 April 2015 by the District Revenue Officer and Chief Executive Officer in charge of the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board.
These notifications are relevant to anyone dealing with the administration or property of either named waqf during the stated periods. They do not announce a general change to Tamil Nadu land law.
