Feni: Land Adviser Ali Imam Majumdar today highlighted the potential benefits of an automated land system in significantly reducing public sufferings, noting that land disputes are the root of 90 percent of conflicts. “Around 90 percent conflict takes place centering land. If automated land system is launched, public sufferings would reduce,” he stated at a workshop titled ‘Information Inclusion and Revision in Automated Land Service System’ held at the Feni deputy commissioner office premises where he served as the chief guest.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Majumdar emphasized that while digitalization can help, it is not a panacea. He cautioned that human errors could still occur, urging everyone to remain vigilant and conscious to mitigate land-related issues. He further mentioned that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has offered support for this initiative, which should be utilized effectively.
Majumdar pointed out the strategic importance of Feni district, explaining its inclusion in the pilot project to implement the automated land system. He expressed confidence that the district would gain significant advantages from the introduction of this system.
The workshop saw participation from UNDP Bangladesh Resident Representative Stefan Liller, who spoke as a special guest, while Chattogram Divisional Commissioner Dr. M Ziauddin chaired the event. The district administration, land management automation project, land ministry, and UNDP collaborated to organize the workshop.
Feni Deputy Commissioner Saiful Islam delivered the welcome address, affirming, “We will work together to make the project successful.”
