Kulgam, Sep 24: Kulgam district has completed the digitization of revenue records.
Kulgam became the second district in the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir to complete the digitalization of land records.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kulgam, Dr Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat, said the completion of the digitisation of land records will now make it easier and hassle-free to access land documents at the fingertips.
“To complete the process of digitizing land records, centralized digitization centres were set up in all tehsils. Revenue technical teams were engaged to complete the process and now all of our records are completely digitized,” he said.
