The REHAB president has eulogised the minister for digitalising the land records. Kajal then put up his argument before the minister to continue the existing law of the power of attorney considering the real situation.

The land minister praised REHAB's contribution on various matters in the land sector as a stakeholder and echoed the sentiment to maintain the power of attorney on the basis of partnership in the construction of structures.    

Along with that, the minister advised REHAB's delegation to submit their suggestions to the ministry in writing.

Chowdhury informed that initiatives are being taken to develop new systems, amending many rules of the British era.

He urged all to abide by the new laws properly.   

Kamal Mahmud, first vice-president of REHAB, Mohammad Shohel Rana, vice-president for finance, and Md Mustafizur Rahman, secretary of the land ministry, were present at the meeting.
