Referencing open data related to e-Mutation on the land service platform (www.land.gov.bd), Land Ministry has sent a letter to the Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners - to send a report within 15 working days after expeditious disposing of excessive e-Mutation cases that are pending over 28 days and to monitor regularly of the average disposal time of e-Mutation.
In addition, ways to resolve the cases that are showing 'false negative' pending/unsettled due to the earlier system was also mentioned in the letter, according to a statement.
It was also requested to state all other reasons for taking an excessive amount of time spent in the settlement of e-Mutation as a whole.
Applicable necessary action will be taken accordingly after receiving the report on the reasons for requiring more than 28 days for disposal of e-Mutation cases at the field level.
The previous e-Mutation system has been updated and made smart by adding new features such as a question-based guided e-Mutation form and synchronisation of data stored in government servers.
The ministry has also taken the initiative to open suitable data/information related to land services in this smart system to ensure good governance in land administration and to make land services more people-oriented.
The issue of excessive e-Mutation cases that are pending for over 28 days came up in the open dataset display during the review of the e-Mutation in a meeting last week chaired by Land Secretary Md Mustafizur Rahman PAA.
The letter was sent on September 19 in that regard.
