Haryana to conduct drone-survey of revenue estates for online record

The officers have been asked to complete the survey of the 242 shortlisted villages of populated areas by October 2, this year.

Haryana government has directed the officers to conduct a drone-survey of populated areas and the revenue estates so that people can get an online record of the ownership rights of their property.

The officers have been asked to complete the survey of the 242 shortlisted villages of populated areas by October 2, this year.

On the occassio of Gandhi Jayanti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be declaring one village in every district of the country as Lal Dora-free and will distribute deeds as well. However, Haryana aims to ensure that 11 villages from each district, which means in all 242 villages, are Lal Dora-free by October 2.

Deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala, who also holds the portfolio of department of revenue and disaster management, confirmed this while presiding over the review meeting of the officers related to ‘Haryana Large Scale Mapping and Ownership Project’ (HaLSMP) at Chandigarh on Tuesday.

On the progress of drone survey, the deputy CM was apprised that in addition to the said 242 villages, drone survey has been completed in eight other villages and the remaining works are being done at a fast pace. In addition, data-processing has also been completed in 214 villages.

It was also informed that maps of 123 villages have been handed over to the district administration. On being informed that due to rough weather some drones started malfunctioning, the deputy CM instructed the officers concerned that the additional drones be sought and the work should be completed at the earliest.

Dushyant instructed the officers of the Survey of India (SOI) that along with the populated areas, revenue estates should also be surveyed so that ownership rights of every inch of land are verified. This will benefit the people of the state as they will be able to access digital records of their land at any time and will also save time and resources. He said that as per the agreement signed between the Survey of India (SOI) with the Haryana government, drone survey will secure the limits of villages, city and revenue estates, while ensuring there is no encroachment of any kind. He said that this will bring about transparency in the system.
