The Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) has set April 27 as the deadline to complete the ongoing digital land survey under the Centre's 'Naksha' project. Officials are urging residents to cooperate with field teams to ensure accurate records.
Review Meeting Highlights
At a review meeting on Thursday, MCM Commissioner Pradeep Singh assessed the progress of the exercise and directed survey teams to expedite work. The survey is being carried out across villages, residential sectors, and commercial areas to prepare a digital database of all land parcels in Manesar.
Survey Methodology
Teams are visiting properties to collect ownership documents and map land using drones and other technical tools. The data collected on the ground is being verified with existing revenue records, with patwaris deployed to ensure accuracy and resolve discrepancies.
Pilot Project in Haryana
Manesar is among a few urban local bodies in Haryana where the pilot project is being implemented. Commissioner Singh stated, "Land records in urban areas are being digitised under the central government's pilot project. In Haryana, this has been initiated with municipal corporations of Manesar and Panchkula and Narnaul municipal council. The general public will directly benefit from this survey. Urban land management will increase public trust and promote infrastructure development."
Benefits of the Project
The project is part of the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme and is expected to bring greater transparency in land-related matters. Once completed, residents will be able to access clearer digital records of their properties, while authorities expect it to help in checking encroachments and reducing disputes.
Appeal to Property Owners
The municipal corporation has appealed to property owners to share relevant documents related to land, houses, plots, etc. with survey teams when approached. Officials warned that lack of cooperation could lead to gaps or errors in the final records.
