The drone images are being used to update decades-old land records, check encroachments and resolve disputes over land and property. "While land records are meant to be updated every five years, this is not done regularly and there are invariably errors, even with satellite imagery," said TL Satyaprakash, deputy commissioner in Gurgaon. So we can verify and rectify the land records before they are digitised," he told the Reuters. These images were then checked against existing land records and verified with village councils in rural areas before being updated, said R.S.
