Memorandums submitted across Maharashtra
Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra – The proposed Maharashtra Devasthan Inam Abolition Draft Act 2026, introduced by the state government’s Revenue and Forest Department, has raised serious concerns regarding the future of Devasthan lands.
Reacting to the proposal, the Mandir Mahasangh has stated that the law could undermine the existence of Hindu Devasthans and primarily benefit land-related interests.
To oppose the proposed law and demand its immediate withdrawal, the Mandir Mahasangh has been submitting memorandums at various locations across Maharashtra.
Memorandum submitted in Ahilyanagar
A memorandum demanding the immediate withdrawal of the draft was submitted to P.P. Swami Govinddev Giri Maharaj and NCP MLA Sangram Jagtap.
The memorandum stated that if implemented, the proposed law would end the ownership of temples over Devasthan Inam lands and transfer such lands to current occupants, thereby affecting the foundation of temple administration.
