Govt works ceaselessly for digital land services

Administrative officials of Rajshahi addressed the inaugural ceremony of the Land Service Week- 2022 in Rajshahi on Sunday and observed the current government efforts to serve the people.

The current administration has been working tirelessly to bring land services to people’s doorsteps by digitising them for the public’s benefit.

Under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s wise and proactive leadership, the government has made substantial progress in this area, decreasing public hardship and harassment to a larger extent.

Divisional and district administrations and Thana Land Office jointly hosted the ceremony at Boalia Thana Land Office premises largely attended by land administrative officials, staff and other stakeholders.

Commissioner of Rajshahi division GSM Zafarullah addressed the meeting as chief guest, while Additional Commissioner Abu Taher Masud Rana and Zonal Settlement Officer Dr Sitara Begum spoke as special guests with Deputy Commissioner Abdul Jalil in the chair.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Shariful Haque gave an illustration about the land service week during his documentary presentation related to the benefits of land automation and digitalization.

Commissioner Zafarullah told the meeting that the people are getting land records easily as a result of record room automation.

A hundred per cent land mutation online is in process at present, he said, adding that a project for the digital land survey is being implemented in Rajshahi by collecting three-dimensional satellite images.

There will be no need for a manual land survey upon successful implementation of a digital land survey.

Khatian and the map will be prepared automatically in terms of ownership transfer. The venture will save the public from long-lasting harassment.

The chief guest urged his subordinate colleagues to discharge their services with utmost sincerity and honesty so that the service recipients are highly satisfied.

He called for ensuring people-friendly land services after the best use of modern information communication and technologies.

Building close and cordial relations between the staff of land offices and the public, in general, is the precondition to making the land services pro-people.

On the occasion, some officials and staff were given awards as recognition for their laudable services and performance in this field.
