With an aim to digitising the data of all departments, especially the Revenue, Agriculture, Disaster Management and police through satellite images, a Geographic Information System (GIS) laboratory was started at the Mini-Secretariat here today.
Nishant Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner, inaugurated the laboratory and said the step had been taken by the Haryana Space Application Centre (HARSAC). The GIS mapping would help in getting satellite-based data for more transparent and better planning.
The laboratory would also help in detecting active fire locations and further help in taking action against the violators. It would provide map-based solutions to government departments.
“I have asked the officials to provide the digital mapping of all parks under the Karnal Municipal Corporation. I have called a meeting of the departments concerned to collect information available with them,” the DC added.
