Islamabad: The digitisation process for land records in Islamabad faces delay due to the non-availability of funds, states a news source. The federal capital still employs the traditional patwari system, but the Land Record and Management Information System (LRMIS) operates in many other cities of Punjab.
The process of setting up LRMIS in Islamabad is pending, as the department concerned is waiting for funds. In the absence of LRMIS, which allows the issuance of fard, ensures record safety, and assists in transfer of ownership in less than one hour, people in Islamabad continue to suffer at the hands of the old system.
