Mobile units to offer land services
The Punjab government has launched 20 mobile arazi units to provide prompt revenue related services to the people of far-flung areas at their doorsteps. This was stated by Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar in a statement issued on Monday. He said the mobile centres have also been linked with other centres in the province. Necessary services like transfer of land ownership and issuance of property deeds would be available to the applicants, he said, adding that the facility would especially benefit the senior citizens. The applicants can avail this facility by calling on the helpline number, he highlighted. The chief minister said that the Punjab government’s revenue reforms would help revamp the outdated system and the departmental reforms would also help eradicate corruption. “It would eliminate the archaic patwari culture too,” he explained.
