Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, September 12-
Cabineet Minister Harjot Singh Bains has launched an innovative initiative to conduct comprehensive digital satellite mapping of villages within the Sri Anandpur Sahib Vidhan Sabha constituency. This pioneering project, overseen by the Rural Development and Panchayat Department, will encompass the mapping of various village features, including streets, ponds, boundaries, temples, gurdwaras, schools, community centers and hospitals.
The mapping endeavour will streamline development processes by eliminating the need for repeated on-site visits by government departments, providing accurate, up-to-date information on the condition of public spaces and infrastructure.
The digital satellite mapping will offer numerous benefits, including significant time savings for government officials and panchayats by reducing redundant survey work and facilitate efficient planning for drainage systems and water supply networks by providing precise digital elevation data and street measurements, said the Cabinet Minister.
