Govt launches land division initiative

Director General (DG) Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) Tariq Subhani met Commissioner Multan Division Amir Kareem Khan and briefed him on a new system for dividing joint landholdings.

He announced that the Punjab government has abolished fees on Wanda (land partition) to ease the process for the public. Calling it a historic reform, he emphasized that the merit-based and transparent division of joint family land would prevent disputes and ensure fairness.

To streamline property distribution, the government launched the 'Wanda Karao, Sukh Pao' initiative, enabling legal heirs to obtain ownership records and land maps effortlessly. A dedicated wing has also been established to manage the process. Previously, the lack of a structured mechanism fuelled family disputes and prolonged legal battles.
