The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) on Tuesday began its field survey to implement integrated GIS for planning and development of Greater Hyderabad area to leverage citizen centric services by analyzing, visualizing, and managing spatial data.
The civic body will conduct satellite, drone and physical survey through Geographic Information System (GIS) in areas such as Hayath nagar, Uppal, Kukatpally, KPHB, Hyder nagar, KPHB colony, Miyapur, Chandanagar among others.
Survey teams have split up into teams for different surveys in residential, commercial zones. If the comprehensive survey is completed, the GHMC could see a huge spike in income from houses and commercial structures built without permission. Locals urge officials to levy tax by keeping poor and middle class people in mind.
GHMC Commissioner urges citizens to cooperate:
Every property, utility in the greater Hyderabad area will be mapped and geo-referenced to make sure that the property information is transparent.
GHMC Commissioner Amrapali requested citizens to cooperate with the survey teams going door-to-door for property tax surveys.
The commissioner also appealed to house owners to keep proper identity cards available during the survey. Copies of building permits, occupancy details, latest property tax receipts, water bill, electricity bill, owners ID details must be kept in handy, she said.
The survey would help citizens to get clear insights into property tax obligations and facilitate online payments.
