Meanwhile, Commissioner chaired a meeting regarding sifting and digitisation of LDA records. Officers from PITB, PRA, Excise, PLRA and district administration were present in the meeting. Addressing the officers, Commissioner said that the process of sifting all the records of LDA should be completed as soon as possible so that a central mechanism of data sharing with all land-related institutions could be created from the sifting of records. He said that with the help of technology, citizens would be able to get all the details at one place. The aim of this initiative is to provide citizens with ease in the verification of records and to get rid of unnecessary visits of government offices.
