 Dear Avinash and all,

 I will try to make some time this week to scrape the pincodes from
 electoral rolls for all polling booths in my electoral GIS shapefiles.

 Since pincode is in latin script, this should not be affected by the
 much discussed PDF scraping issues with electoral rolls.

 We could then either go down the voronoi route, or alternatively use the
 heatmap processing chain that I used to generate AC boundaries - this
 latter would have the advantage of dealing with wrong coordinates in the
 booth point dataset (basically, not all electoral booth coordinates are
 correct; consequently, if we only voronoi, we would have a blip of
 pincode B within a see of pincode A quite frequently. The heatmap stuff
 takes care of this).

 Since I am not familiar with postal boundaries: can anyone here confirm
 whether pincode areas are contiguous, and whether each pincode has only
 one area? Or can it be that several non-contiguous areas have the same
 pincodem intersparsed with other pincodes? (In
