PLRA to computerise civic properties

LAHORE: The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) will soon initiate work on computerisation of civic properties to safeguard ownership rights of people.



PLRA Director General Muhammad Zafar Iqbal said that identity card numbers of land owners would be entered in the database which would help people check their land records. Besides, he added digital maps would also be prepared of all districts which would help owners look into details of their properties.



He said the department was earning more than Rs700 million by providing 200,000 property statements and 60,000 land transfers every month. The DG said the PLRA was being upgraded and the 'Patwari culture' was being abolished.
