On February 18, 2026, Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider Khan promulgated two significant ordinances aimed at reforming land management and enhancing property rights in the province. The Punjab Land Revenue (Amendment) Ordinance and the Immovable Property Ownership Protection (Amendment) Ordinance 2026 introduce a comprehensive digitalization of land records, aiming to improve transparency and accountability. The changes are designed to curb land disputes and improve property handling, with officials stating that the ordinances will significantly streamline the resolution process. Notably, the new laws establish a scrutiny committee to replace the previous dispute resolution committee, comprising senior officials including deputy commissioners and district police officers.
