A land ownership dispute between the authorities of Karamatia Kamil Madrasa and the Charfassion Central Eidgah Mosque in Bhola’s Charfassion has intensified. The madrasa claims that individuals linked to the mosque recently began constructing a boundary fence on its registered land, despite police orders to halt the work. The incident occurred on May 31 when several people started erecting bamboo posts behind the madrasa’s honors building. Later that night, three shops near the madrasa market were reportedly locked, and tenants were told not to pay rent to the madrasa.

According to the madrasa, the land was originally allocated during the British period for the madrasa, mosque, Eidgah, and cemetery. In 1976, 75.33 decimals of land were legally transferred to the madrasa through a waqf deed. The madrasa accuses the opposing group of trying to seize the land by force and has sought administrative intervention. The mosque committee president, however, claims the madrasa occupies more land than recorded and that the disputed portion belongs to the mosque.

Police confirmed responding to the complaint and instructed both parties to stop work and maintain peace.
