Govt launches land division initiative
MULTAN: Director General (DG) Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) Tariq Subhani met Commissioner Multan Division Amir Kareem Khan and briefed him on a new system for dividing joint landholdings. He announced that the Punjab government has abolished fees on Wanda (land partition) to ease the process for the public. Calling it a historic reform, he emphasized that the merit-based and transparent division of joint family land would prevent disputes and ensure fairness. To streamline property distribution, the government launched the 'Wanda Karao, Sukh Pao' initiative, enabling legal heirs to obtain ownership records and land maps effortlessly. A dedicated wing has also been established to manage the process. Previously, the lack of a structured mechanism fuelled family disputes and prolonged legal battles.

Lodhran hosts chess contest after decades
LODHRAN: Under the auspices of the district administration, Lodhran hosted its first-ever Deputy Commissioner Chess Championship, reviving the nearly extinct game in the region after 50 years. The championship, held at the Gymkhana, was inaugurated by Commissioner Multan Division Amir Khurram Khan and Deputy Commissioner Dr. Lubna Nazir, who made the first chess move to kick off the event. Over 60 participants from various government and private schools, including players from the Under-15 category and students of the Tareen Education Foundation, competed across three exciting categories. Speaking at the event, Commissioner Amir Khurram Khan emphasised the importance of promoting mental games alongside physical sports. "Chess fosters critical thinking and problem-solving. Such events will also be organized in other districts of the division," he said. Deputy Commissioner Dr Lubna Nazir was lauded for her efforts in resurrecting chess in Lodhran, an area that once saw this game flourish but lost its prominence over the decades. "This championship is a milestone in encouraging chess enthusiasts and nurturing talent in Lodhran," she remarked. The winners of the championship received cash prizes and trophies.
