Months after outrage over the Waqf Board swallowing over 1,200 acres of farmland in Vijaypura, Karnataka, a similar kind of stunning claim is made for the government properties in the historic town of Srirangapatna, a report published in Star Of Mysore said. More than 70 properties in Srirangapatna taluk, including government-owned lands, historic monuments like the iconic Tipu Armoury, and buildings under the jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India and the State Department of Archaeology, Museums, and Heritage, have been recorded as Waqf Board properties in official RTC documents, the report said.

The claims over heritage sites and government lands come months after farmers in Vijaypura, Karnataka, received notices stating that their lands belonged to the Waqf board.
