SaralnamaDigital mapping of Chandigarh's buildings will start by the end of this month. The survey, conducted under the Deputy Commissioner's office, is part of the NAKSHA project. About 100 surveyors have been hired to map the entire city, starting with select villages and sectors. A State Project Management Unit has been set up in the Municipal Corporation for this purpose. The digital survey will record the size and area of each building, assigning digital numbers. This will help resolve property disputes quickly. Initial areas to be surveyed include Sarangpur, Burail, Kajheri, Palsora, Attawa, and Sectors 2-17 (except 13), covering 30.61 sq km and a population of 147,945.
