Dhaka: Putting emphasis on making the people aware about the ongoing land digitization programme, land adviser A F Hassan Ariff today urged the divisional commissioners to work sincerely in ensuring transparent, accountable, and citizen-friendly land management at the field level. The adviser made the call at a coordination meeting with divisional commissioners at his ministry’s meeting room here.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Ariff asked divisional commissioners to strictly supervise and coordinate the daily activities of the officials and employees of the land department at the local level. He noted that most people have limited knowledge about land-related services, and it is crucial for service aspirants to be made widely aware of the ongoing digitization programme of the government, which includes online registration, holding number, land tax, and filing procedures.
Furthermore, Ariff emphasized the importance of continuing the regular training programmes for field-level land officers and e
mployees to ensure they are well-equipped to handle the demands of the digitization initiative. Senior secretary of the ministry ASM Saleh Ahmed, along with other senior officials, was present at the meeting.
