Gurugram first to get GIS mapping

Gurugram has become the first city in North India to get GIS mapping done. This would not only become the base for water, sewerage, power and roads services, but also help in putting a check on criminal activities and unauthorised construction in the city. V Umashakar, CEO, Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, recently said One Map Gurugram was being prepared by GMDA through taking satellite imagery to create a common infrastructure for government departments. He said resolution of 50 cm was being received through satellite imagery and after validation from drone mapping five cm resolution imagery would be received. www.tribuneindia.com
