In a bid to improve transparency in property and land registry, Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi initiated an e-registry model center in Lahore on Saturday.
The system, aimed at removing manual processes, is a innovative step towards modernizing the province’s land and property transactions.
Speaking at the inauguration at the LDA Office on Kashmir Road, Chief Minister Naqvi revealed that a total of 221,000 e-registries have been completed to date. To facilitate the process, a Bank of Punjab branch has been established at the e-registry model center.
The chief minister highlighted the shift from the manual registry system to the now operational e-registry system. He highlighted the computerized nature of the entire process, with only the finalization of the sub-registrar’s signature requiring manual intervention.
Addressing criticism, Chief Minister Naqvi declared that unfair reviews do not impact his work. He underlined the position of focusing on his responsibilities rather than getting diverted by criticism.
