Drones To Stop Illegal Encroachments
"This is a unique beginning in the state. With the help of drones, illegal encroachments can also be controlled, along with detecting expansion of area. Earlier, manual surveys were conducted at regular intervals, which were costly, time-consuming and required more human power," said Khattar.
Directing the officers concerned to ensure quick disposal of various types of surveys and imaging work, Khattar stated that besides the revenue department, the use of drones should also be ensured in other departments, including urban local bodies, power, disaster management, mining, forest, traffic, town and country planning, and agriculture, as it would help in mapping, land records, disaster management and emergency services, development planning in the urban areas.
