The US government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Land Registration in Merged Areas (LRMA) activity Monday held the second Sports Gala at the University of Peshawar to provide a healthy platform for the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Merged Areas to showcase their sports skills while at the same time informing the players and the spectators about their land ownership and transfer rights.
“The event has provided us with an opportunity to reach out to the Merged Areas Youth collectively to educate them about the importance of land registration and transparency of land titles in these areas,” said Mr. Hafiz Atta-ul-Munim, Secretary, KP Board of Revenue. “The absence of verifiable land registration often leads to land disputes and incidents involving loss of lives due to unclear land ownership.”
The 5-day event featured the youth of Dara Adam Khel competing in football, cricket, volleyball, badminton.
