Lahore: After the identification and digitisation of agricultural land in the province, the Punjab government has decided to start an urban land digitisation survey to map the urban land in use, news sources reported on January 18.
The project is aimed to prevent the establishment of illegal housing societies on agricultural lands. According to reports, the government has decided to begin the process of cadastral mapping of the urban land area following the completion of the digitisation of agricultural land.
In this respect, the Project Concept-1 (PC-1) of the project has been prepared with the work expected to start soon. The project is funded by the World Bank (WB). It was highlighted that the project will be completed under the Urban Land Enhancement Project, which will aid in the identification of land for future housing schemes.
The plan calls for the creation of a cadastral map of digital land records, the development of a land record management system, and the improvement of geo-mapping of urban areas to aid in land identification. The initiative is a collaborative project of the Punjab Board of Revenue (PBR), Land Record Authority (PLRA), Planning and Development (P&D), and Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).
