The government should start computersing the ownership of land not only in Sindh but in the entire country.
People of Pakistan should know who owns the land and what is the status of the leased land.
All the feudal lords and influential people are members of land mafia. They should be taken to the task first.
The government should recover the land grabbed by the fuedal lords and influential people and the same should be distributed among the poor farmers who have been working for the land owners as farmers for decades.Recommend
