Lahore: The Lahore district administration has launched a large-scale land record correction operation to address long-pending issues related to missing mutations, blocked ownership records (khewat blocks), and delays in updating registered land transfers across the city.
A high-level meeting chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner Revenue Lahore Hafiz Kareem Dad Chughtai was held at Nadra Hall, where assistant commissioners were directed to resolve public complaints within a strict timeframe.
As part of the drive, the revenue authorities have issued a 30-day deadline to resolve a total of 20,759 mutation-related cases, including missing entries, incomplete transfers, and errors in digitised land records.
Officials said 6,377 missing mutations are to be resolved within one month, along with urgent disposal of 1,309 khewat-related cases.
Supervisory responsibility for monitoring progress has been assigned to Rana Khalid, Deputy Director of the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA), to ensure timely compliance across all centres.
Breakdown of targets shows that different land record centres have been assigned specific workloads. The Cantt Land Record Centre will address 811 mutation issues, 305 missing mutations, and 93 khewat cases.
The City Land Record Centres will handle 1,686 mutation cases, 582 missing mutations, and 217 khewat discrepancies. The Model Town Centre has been tasked with resolving 1,899 mutation issues, 364 missing mutations, and 160 khewat cases.
The Raiwind Land Record Centre carries the largest backlog, including 6,991 mutation issues and 1,159 missing mutations, which are to be resolved on an urgent basis. Meanwhile, the Shalimar Centre will address 1,305 mutation issues, 1,383 missing mutations, and 65 khewat cases.
Authorities said assistant commissioners will submit daily progress reports, while tehsildars, service centre in-charges, and assistant directors of land records will directly supervise the process.
The administration said the initiative aims to provide relief to citizens facing record-related issues and restore confidence in the land management system. The drive follows decisions taken in a meeting held on April 30, 2026, aimed at improving service delivery in Lahore’s revenue system.
