More Muslim Properties Added Online in West Bengal
West Bengal saw 35,000 more religious properties get registered online after a new digital portal named UMEED was launched. Officials say this is because people are finally putting their old property details on the internet.
What happened in West Bengal
West Bengal now has 35,000 more registered properties linked to religious trusts known as Waqf. This big jump happened after the government launched a new website and portal called UMEED. The special website makes it much easier for property owners to put their records online.
Why the numbers went up
Some people might think many new properties were suddenly built. However, government officials explained that these properties were already there. The only change is that owners are now using the new digital system to register what they already owned.
- Over 35,000 new registrations were recorded.
- A new portal named UMEED helped make things easier.
- Officials say the properties are not newly built.
- People are simply updating their old paper records online.
What happens next
With more properties on the digital map, managing them becomes much easier for the board. Other states might also look at this new website to see how they can put their property records online too.
