While addressing the ceremony, PM Khan shared that there will be an online portal where all the land and property data will be recorded, which could be accessed by Pakistanis and those living abroad.

PM Imran said during the event that land digitization is a two-phase project. In the first phase, the digitization of lands and cadastral mapping will be completed in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi by November this year. The second phase will then cover the rural lands.

This project will make transfers, buying, and selling of properties much easier, the PM said at the ceremony. He even shared that the digitization process has earned CDA a profit of 300 to 400 billion rupees.
