Hi Avinash, Thanks for the link. I had not seen it earlier.
By way of introduction, I am a lawyer by profession, interested in the use of data for better delivery of public services. So my coding skills are near zero. I had come across a crime heat map for a US city, which had set me looking for something similar for Delhi. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction wrt. city data.
