The Land Management system across the country will soon be fully digital, Land Adviser Ali Imam Majumder has said, reports UNB.

Speaking to reporters after the first session on the second day of the three-day District Commissioners (DCs) conference at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium on Monday, Majumder said the transition from the traditional system to a digital one might be difficult at first, but over time, people's difficulties will be alleviated.

Senior Secretary of the Land Ministry, ASM Saleh Ahmed, was also present at the briefing.

Majumder further said the chief adviser is committed to making land management across the country digital. Currently, survey work is being conducted with drones, and the government is utilising modern technologies.

He added trained personnel and companies are being brought in to assist, and training programmes are underway. "I hope that day is not far when land management across the country will be fully digital," he said.

In response to a question about whether the pending applications for e-namzaari will be processed before March 10, Majumder informed that it is an ongoing process, with applications being continuously received. He expressed optimism that the system would be functional before March 10.

Senior Secretary Saleh Ahmed said when the digital process began, there were about 450,000 pending applications nationwide, but that number has since decreased and will continue to drop.

This will also reduce the harassment faced by people.

"Our goal is to complete it by March 10, and I hope people will be able to use the system smoothly before then. There is no issue with the 'porcha' now. Our suffering has reduced by 80 per cent," he added.
