Whilst it is indeed appropriate that the new "digitised"(of maps prepared manually) survey be referred to as a mess, it is not desirable to wallow in the past. Its time we moved on.Let me give an example: Whilst even a young student knows that the Arabian Sea lies to the West of India. (Goa included) I was shocked to receive a Survey Map of a Property by the Coast which indicated the Chapora River in the WEST. The "designed discrepancy" is not far to unravel. The CRZ Regulations prohibit constructions within the NO DEVELOPMENT ZONE(NDZ 200 metres from the High Tide Line, and 100 metres from the River Bank) It is hideously obvious that the Construction Lobby have been "doctoring" documents for their own neferious purpose. When I threatened to initiate legal action in the Criminal Court under the procedure prescribed under the IPC for Govt Officer producing/procurring false document, where the penalty is LIFE IMPRISONMENT, the concerned Officer begged of me to relent and "corrected" his mistake. The Bombay High Court has in recent Judgements accepted Maps obtained from Global Positioning Systems as acceptable evidence in proceedings where the Indian Evidence Act is applicable, and has even ordered DEMOLITIONS in Mumbai on the basis of these Maps. ITS TIME CITIZENS CUT OUT THE TOMFOOLERY AND INSISTED ON MAPS OBTAINED BY REMOTE SENSING. THE AUTHORISED AGENCIES ARE ISRO AND THE SARABHAI INSTITITE OF SPACE RESEARCH. LETS CUT THE CARPING CRAP AND HARNESS MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN THE QUEST FOR ACCURACY AND TRUTH. Regards, Gerry.
