Regulating ‘geospatial information’

The Government of India

Intends to regulate ‘Geospatial Information’,

And rightly so,

Hence, draft “The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill, 2016” (read page no.)

In public domain for discussions and deliberations.

The draft that envisages

Severe monetary penalties and imprisonment

In case of possession or publication of incorrect maps…etc.

Appears to anticipate that these ‘provisions’ would enable

A more regulated ‘geospatial information scenario’.

Let us discuss and debate,
