Sindh government has sought SUPARCO’s help to utilize the latest technology for monitoring government lands falling under the domain of the Malir Development Authority.
The move that has been initiated by Secretary MDA is aimed at thwarting attempts from the land grabbers to occupy government lands in the city.
The top MDA official sought technical help from SUPARCO in establishing a monitoring system that would enable them in keeping an eye on the government lands round the clock.
Under the proposed plan, the MDA would utilize Google visual monitoring system to point out encroachment on the government lands.
In February 2019, the Sindh Revenue Board launched its portal to ensure the prevention of land grabbing and forged property papers.
The revenue board’s portal allowed citizens to track their property deeds and the progress of their property registration online.
The property’s documents could be checked online before an ownership deal. The Member revenue board Roshan Shaikh at that time said that the property’s documents could be checked online with a charge of 150 rupees.
The government has decided to curtail the powers of the sub-registrar in Sindh and the timeline for a sub-registrar to scrutinize documents has been slashed from three months to three days, the revenue board official said.
A sub-registrar will face disciplinary action if he will keep the property transfer case more than three days with him, he said. The notification with the property will be issued within a week, the revenue board member said.
