The Union Government has started the NAKSHA project to measure the land in the urban areas and update the maps accurately through drone. The Kannad Municipal Council has been selected for implementing this path-finding project. District collector Dilip Swami directed that proper coordination should be established by the tehsildar, council CEO, administration and officers of land records department for implementing the project during a meeting held at the Kannad Municipal Council on Wednesday. MLA Sanjana Jadhav, administrator Santosh Gorad, tehsildar Vidyadhar Kadavkar, deputy superintendent, Land Records Dr Vijay Veer and other officers and employees were present.
Informing about the project Dr Veer said, a project to measure the land in the rural areas was implemented recently and the property cards were distributed to the owners. In the similar way, NAKSHA project will be implemented to measure the land in the urban areas. This path-finding project is being implemented in 10 municipal councils in the state. In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, Kannad taluka has been selected for implementing this project. The properties coming under the ambit of 4.80 kilometers under Kannad Municipal Council will be survey through drones. Accurate maps will be done through the survey and the owners will be given the property cards. The project will be completed soon, he said.
Swami directed that each property should be registered in the property tax register. The properties should be inspected as per the new maps prepared through drones. The newly registered properties should be included in the tax register so that the revenue of the council can be increased. The information about the government, private, open spaces, sanctioned layouts, constructions should be updated through proper coordination within the departments.
