Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is actively working on the development of the Property Management System (PMS), which is set to digitize over 85,000 property files. This significant initiative was reported on July 24, following a meeting held to discuss CDA’s efforts to enhance citizen services through digitization. The meeting was attended by CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, who has been a key proponent of this transformative project.
During the meeting, Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa issued a directive to expedite the digitization process. The PMS aims to streamline property management, making it more efficient and accessible. By digitizing 85,000 property files, the CDA intends to reduce paperwork, minimize errors, and enhance the overall efficiency of property transactions. This move is expected to benefit thousands of property owners and potential buyers, offering them a more transparent and hassle-free experience.
In addition to the PMS, the CDA is developing a comprehensive Case Management System. This system will allow citizens to access over 130 municipal services via their mobile phones, greatly enhancing convenience and accessibility. Among the services to be digitized are birth and death certificates, property tax payments, and other essential functions that previously required in-person visits to CDA offices. This shift to digital services is part of a broader strategy to modernize the CDA’s operations and improve service delivery to citizens.
Another notable initiative is the CDA’s digital parking project. The software for this project has been completed, and the necessary hardware is expected to arrive in Pakistan by the end of the month. The digital parking system will streamline parking management in the capital, reducing congestion and improving the overall parking experience for residents and visitors. To ensure the integrity and transparency of revenue collection from digital parking, a reputable third-party firm will be hired. The revenue generated through this system will be reinvested in the construction, repair, and renovation of parking facilities, thereby enhancing the quality of services provided.
These digitization efforts by the CDA are part of a broader push toward modernization and improved efficiency in the capital’s municipal services. By leveraging technology, the CDA aims to provide faster, more reliable, and more convenient services to the citizens of Islamabad. The successful implementation of these projects will mark a significant step forward in the CDA’s mission to enhance the quality of life for residents and create a more efficient and responsive municipal administration.
