RAJSHAHI, May 25, 2025 (BSS) - A three-day land fair 2025 began here today 
aims at reaching and familiarising the services related to lands to the 
public in general from today.

In addition to holding a discussion meeting at Borokuthi Bhumi Office 
premises in the city, a colourful rally was brought out there to mark the 
inaugural ceremony of the fair.

Various issues related to reaching services to the general public through the 
Land Service Facilitation Center (LSFC) at the upazila and union land offices 
are being showcased in different stalls of the fair.

Apart from this, the landowners are having ideas about registration in 
land.gov.bd land portal, e-mutation, application process, online land 
development tax payment and different other services. 
 
The fair will remain from 9 am to 5 pm every day until May 27.
 
Commissioner of Rajshahi Division Khandaker Azim Ahmed addressed the opening 
discussion as the chief guest while Additional Commissioner Dr Chitralekha 
Naznin and Deputy Land Reform Commissioner Taslima Khatun spoke as special 
guests with Deputy Commissioner Afia Aklhter in the chair.
 
In his remarks, Khandaker Azim Ahmed said booklets titled "Bhumi Amar 
Thikana" will be distributed among the service-recipients aimed at building 
their capacity of realising their due rights overcoming fear related to land.
 
"Hundred percent land mutation online is in process at present," he said, 
adding that a project for digital land survey is being implemented in 
Rajshahi through collecting three dimensional satellite images.
 
There will be no need for manual land survey upon successful implementation 
of digital land survey.

Khatian and the Map will be prepared automatically in terms of ownership 
transfer. 

The venture will save the public from the long-lasting harassment.
 
The chief guest urged his subordinate colleagues to discharge their services 
with utmost sincerity and honesty so that the service-recipients are highly 
satisfied.
 
He called for ensuring people-friendly land services after the best use of 
modern information communication and technologies. 

Building close and cordial relations between the staff of land offices and 
the public in general is the precondition to make the land services pro-
people.
