The JI had decided to give tickets to the youth in the elections, the JI amir said, adding that the former rulers always used the youth for their dirty politics.

The JI amir added the WAPDA was carrying out drone attacks on the Pakistanis.

“All over the world rich’s money is used to support the poor. However, in Pakistan the poor are feeding the rich.

On one side people sleep empty stomach and on the other side, $17 billion incentives are given to the privileged class,” the JI chief said,
Siraj-ul-Haq said JI wanted to the government to review agreements with IPP.

“We want to abolish taxes on solar panels and the government should immediately discontinue free electricity units for employees using,” he went on saying.

The JI chief urged the government to withdraw the cruel tax or the JI will hold a shutter-down strike on September 2, and a protest rally will be held in Rawalpindi on September 1.

Meanwhile, Karachi Amir JI Hafiz Naeemur Rehman said that the landlords should be taxed immediately and the rulers should understand that they would have to reduce the electricity prices in any case.

Rehman while addressing a sit-in of businessmen in Sadar said that everyone was worried about the exorbitant increase in electricity prices.

“The poor are worried about how to pay the electricity bills, he said, adding that K-Electric has no right to cut the electricity connection.

“If anyone comes to do that he will be responsible for the situation,” the Karachi JI chief warned.

The PDM government approved the hike in electricity rates and the same was talking about holding protest which was the heights of two-facedness, Rehman concluded.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has issued directives to implement concrete measures for the digitalization of land records across the province.

Presided over a crucial session focused on Board of Revenue reforms, CM Nawaz received a comprehensive briefing on the Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE) project.

During the session, officials from the Punjab Land Record Authority and Management of State Land provided insights into the project’s business plan and execution strategies.

The digitalization of land records under the PULSE project is being undertaken with the support of the World Bank.

This ambitious initiative aims to digitize all land records in Punjab on an owner-based system, marking a significant step towards transparency and efficiency in revenue management.

Key highlights from the briefing include the categorization of land properties into clear, and disputed categories, denoted by green, yellow, and red respectively.

Each buyer will be assigned a unique property number, streamlining legal processes and reducing complications associated with property transactions.

The implementation of a transparent partition of land and parcel document system will enhance the transparency and fairness of revenue management.

The digitalization process will also simplify the Record of Rights (Fard) and property transfer system, ensuring accessibility and efficiency for citizens.

In a move to facilitate overseas Pakistanis, the government plans to introduce services such as overseas property transfer, mutation, registration, and e-survey.

CM Maryam Nawaz has underscored the importance of swift action and collaboration among relevant departments to expedite the digitalization of land records.

Provincial Information Minister Azma Bukhari, MPA Sania Ashiq, chief secretary, P&D chairman, SMU head and other officials attended the session.
