Chennai, Sep 15: A peace meeting held at Srirangam between affected parties, HR& CE department officials, police, revenue officials, and Wakf Board representative has decided that the title deeds in Tiruchendurai village can be carried out as usual.
A major controversy had erupted in the Tiruchendurai area when the Joint III Sub-Registrar of Tiruchi asked a person, Rajagopal, who owns one acre of agricultural land in Tiruchendurai village to get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Wakf Board for getting the deed registration.
This was following communication sent by the Wakf Board to a Sub Registrar in Tiruchi that the entire land parcel of 480 acres in Tiruchendurai village belonged to it. The Wakf Board, in the communication also said that those who want to register a deed for any land in the village should get a NOC certificate from the board.

People took the matter up before the Tiruchi district collector and threatened to carry out a series of agitations against the Wakf Board claim. Local people also said that they had "Patta", "chitta", "Adangal", and encumbrance certificates issued by the revenue department with them and that the claim of the Madeen academy was false.
