Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal on Tuesday urged the revenue department to digitalise its land record system. He was chairing a meeting to review the land allotments and record management in the province.
“People of Balochistan are being pestered by the lack of record keeping system in the revenue department due to which many cases are under hearing in the courts. The time has come to digitalise land data system in Balochistan,” said Kamal in the meeting.
Provincial Minister for Revenue Saleem Khosa, Chief Secretary Balochistan Capt (retd) Fazeel Asghar, Senior member Board of Revenue Qamar Masood and government officials were present on the occasion.
The CM Balochistan also emphasised the need to address land issues in mountainous areas of the province and added that through profiling records, land in Balochistan could be preserved. He urged good governance in all disciplines.
Jam Kamal further directed the revenue department to review all directions and suggestions presented in the meeting and submit its report to the Chief Minister Secretariat.
Alternative Energy

The meeting briefed Kamal regarding the province’s renewable energy policy 2019 and power opportunities through alternative sources. He said effective power supply could end the energy crisis in the province and the economy could be uplifted through alternative sources of energy.
“The government has included energy projects in the fiscal budget by keeping in mind the coastal strip of the province,” he added. Parliamentary Secretary for Energy Mubeen Khan Khilji, Special Assistant to CM Ejaz Sanjrani, Additional Chief Secretary for P&D Abdul Rehman Buzdar, Energy Secretary Shaheryar Taj and other government officials attended the session.
