The District Government has formally announced the completion of settlement of the land revenue record of Gujrat district.
The process was initiated in 2002 and was supposed to complete in 2007 but took at least 12 years to complete. However, the computerisation of the land record has only been completed in the half of the revenue estates of the district. The process is still being delayed due to the slow pace of work of revenue department.
DCO Liaqat Ali Chattha told that the settlement of 1084 revenue estates of the district had been completed but with the lapse of 7 years. The process accelerated in 2009 and the revised deadline of the Punjab government for its completion was Nov 15 and it had been done as the provincial government had assigned a separate officer for the project.
DCO further said that around 26 revenue estates falling in the urban areas of Gujrat city including Jalalpur Jattan, Lalamusa, Dinga, Kharian and Sara-i-Alamgir had been exempted from the settlement on the orders of Punjab Government, since the areas had been congested due to the urbanisation which made settlement impossible. Periodical register of the land record of 26 revenue estates had been updated after 12 years, since it could not be maintained every 4 years, which was legal formality.
