Lucknow to monitor illegal construction via digital mapping

Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will begin digital mapping of the city with the help of the Remote Sensing Application Centre in order to keep an eye on unauthorised construction and infrastructure monitoring within the city limits.

The scientists from the Remote Sensing Application Centre met with LDA officials and presented them with a report on their satellite survey and mapping activities in the Ghaziabad district.

Following the meeting, LDA Vice-Chairman Akshay Tripathi directed them to improve the technical stability and profitability of the system.

According to him, digital mapping of the city is necessary to prevent illegal construction. A proposal for the entire action plan has been requested from the remote sensing department.

The LDA has jurisdiction over an area of about 1,050 square km. Every month, they plan to create a database of satellite images of the entire area so that any unauthorised construction in the city can be tracked, said Tripathi.

The plot area, constructed area, and land use must all be known, so the mapping must be done in six to seven layers using the satellite view, drone survey, and Google map.

He went on to say that the system should be designed so that mobile locations of any illegal construction can be found at the latitude-longitude level. All of this information can be linked to the portal in the future.
