Press Release-2
Date: 13-11-2014
Government of Telangana is contemplating with the idea of
conducting survey by using Geographical Information Systems
and Lidar Technology all the tanks as part of Mission Kakatiya
and Telangana Water Grid as well as Mapping of Hyderabad.
Initially 10 to 15 tanks will be surveyed on pilot basis that are
close to Hyderabad city in Mandals of Bhongir, Aleru, Munugodu,
Medchel etc. Issuing instructions to this effect to the concerned
officers, Honourable Chief Minister Sri.K.Chandrashekar Rao
said, that, by using the same technology survey would also be
conducted for identifying the check dams on the rivers and river
let’s to be built.
Mumbai based Genesys International Corporation Limited
who are experts in all kinds of mapping as well as surveys using
GIS and Lidar Technology called on the Honourable Chief
Minister this evening at secretariat, Hyderabad. They told the
CM that they have solutions built on this data for urban
governance and for all water related schemes. They informed that
earlier they have mapped Lavasa City of Pune, Mumbai and parts
of UP State. They also told the CM that for Hyderabad City they
will create a 3-D environment which can be used for Urban
Governance Solutions.
Interacting with the Managing Director Mr. Sajid Malik and
Dr. S.D. Tripathi, Vice President of Genesys International
Corporation Ltd, Honourable Chief Minister said, that,
Hyderabad is one of the historic and oldest cities of the world
like Istanbul and it needs to be developed without disturbing the
existing structure. He said, that, the city would grow multi fold
and the population would touch more than two crores shortly
and as such it needs to be taken care off. He said that lot of re1
engineering and re working of Hyderabad has to be done failing
which its survival will be difficult, for which the entire data
should be available through mapping. The CM said that many
people are coming forward to invest in developing Hyderabad.
The CM however added that those who come forward to develop
needs to understand as to what exactly to be done for this
purpose.
The Chief Minister enquired Genesys International
Corporation whether they would be able to digitalise and map the
Hyderabad City and what would be the time frame for it. He
asked them to explore the possibilities preparing a master plan
dealing with all aspects of the present Hyderabad like easing out
congestion and traffic problems in the 7500 Sq.Kms area under
HMDA. He said that meticulous planning is needed. The CM also
said that Hyderabad gets every year 10 lakhs population added
and accordingly the plans have to be worked out. He said that if
the city is expanded in an unscientific manner generations to
come will curse us. Hyderabad has a God given drain that flows
within the city but it is in a ruined and spoiled condition. Even a
small amount of rain water, traffic gets into problems and even
areas in front of Raj Bhavan, Assembly and CM’s Camp Office
inundate with rain waters. This situation needs to be overcome.
The meeting is attended by Principal Secretary to CM Sri. S.
