LAHORE– In view of the vision of the Chief Minister Punjab and for public convenience, the Punjab Land Record Authority has significantly increased the number of Land Record Centers in 2021.
Total number of centers has increased to more than 5000 by collaborating with NADRA, banks and Dehi Markaz Maal.

Under the Prime Minister’s Corruption Free Pakistan Vision, a special team has been formed in PLRA to register and resolve public grievances. In 2021, 479 complaints have been received through the Prime Minister’s Portal in PLRA, which had been resolved promptly.
In order to strengthen the system of reward and punishment , 34 persons have been dismissed in the year 2021 after completing the inquiry and other disciplinary action against 99 officers and officials due to the complaints received against the staff.
Other interventions are also being taken by PLRA for public facilitation. Universal access will soon enable customers to access the services of their desired area from anywhere in Punjab. Computerization of urban land records will also be started soon to introduce a unified and integrated system of land records.— PRESS RELEASE
