In order to curb land encroachment, the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) has planned to computerise land records, Business Recorder learnt here on Saturday. Syed Mushtaq Hussain Rizvi, Executive District Officer Information Technology Department, CDGK, said that old land records of public properties would be saved as PDF files.
