Gurugram development body to digitise its land records by July-end

GURUGRAM: The GMDA has started identifying and demarcating all of its land assets through a process of GIS mapping, a senior official said.

The process will include marking of survey monuments at every 500 metres which will allow the metropolitan authority to keep a track of all its land thereby checking the encroachments.

The official added that the survey started has around a few weeks back and is expected to be completed by July end.

“We face an issue every time there is an anti-encroachment drive because there are a lot of loopholes in the revenue records themselves. There are also differences between the land records of two government departments, hence, we have initiated this exercise to demarcate the land accurately,” he said.

Other than the demarcation, the process will also lead to an online record of all GMDA’s lands in the city. The main objective, the official said, is to ensure that they don’t face issues while freeing land from encroachments and it can only be done with accurate land records.
