Imphal, July 02: Chief Minister O Ibobi today inaugurated the newly computerized land records system of SDC, Porompat circle Imphal East district at the premises of SDO Office Porompat.

Except for Jiribam Sub-Division, any land owner residing in Imphal East Dist will be able to obtain his land records within a couple of minutes from the computerized land record centres, the first of its kind in the entire north east region.

Speaking as the chief guest at the function, the CM asserted that opening of the computerized land records office will greatly help in minimizing land disputes as well as help in monitoring the Govt's land from encroachers.

Highlighting the importance of maintaining land records in a systematic manner, the CM pointed out the need to open a separate Land Revenue Directorate for the hill dists even though MLR Act is not implemented in the area.

He also added that the Govt is also making an all out effort to set up such centres in the remaining three valley dists.

Elaborating on the matter, he said that 50 % of the work for Imphal West district has been finished and survey works for Thoubal Dist has already been completed.

The Chief Minister while pointing out that the infrastructure at the Porompat SDO Office is not sound, also assured that money would be earmarked for its development from the Additional Central Assistance (ACE).

In his presidential speech, Revenue Minister E Biramani Singh lauded the DC Imphal East and his subordinate officers and NIC experts for successfully setting up the Centre.
