PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Khan Gandapur has decided to launch Electronic Jaidad Card as part of the ongoing land record reforms in the province.
This initiative aims to provide citizens with easy and secure access to their land records through an integrated system.

While briefing the participants about Jaidad Card, it was told that the Jaidad Card would effectively prevent potential tampering and manipulation in land records besides creating convenience for citizens in getting land records and other matters related to revenue.
Furthermore, the card would contain complete record of every citizen’s owned land in any districts, and a mobile app will be available for verifying the information provided in the card.
Addressing the participants, the Chief Minister said that the launch of the Electronic Jaidad Card would be a key initiative of the provincial government in the context of revenue reforms, ensuring citizens face no difficulties in accessing their land records.
He added that the incumbent provincial government was utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) effectively for land record reforms, which would ensure transparency in all matters related to land records.
Moreover, Jaidad Card would not only provide citizens with various facilities but would also help to resolve disputes related to property ownership.
The Chief Minister directed the relevant authorities to ensure the formal launch of the property card as soon as possible so that citizens can avail this modern facility without any delay.
