The Uttar Pradesh government is using state-of-the-art technology to renovate and beautify the ‘Chaurasi Kosi Parikrama Marg’ in Ayodhya. The Remote Sensing Applications Centre is playing a significant role in the state government’s ongoing exercise to give Ayodhya a facelift.
On the request of the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation, mapping work has already been completed with LiDAR technology for the revival, renovation and beautification of the Chaurasi Kosi Parikrama Marg, officials said here on Tuesday.
Subsequently, roads have been identified for widening and its report sent to the department concerned. It has been planned in a way that there will be no need to cut trees and demolish houses on the way unnecessarily.
The Remote Sensing Applications Centre has been set up to promote science and technology in UP. The government has entrusted the centre with many important responsibilities for the all-round development of the state.
During the corona period, the centre has made significant contributions to the proper planning and management of the resources of the state with the use of state-of-the-art technology like remote sensing, GIS, GPS and LiDAR.
The mapping done by the centre in Ayodhya with LiDAR technology will give impetus to the plan launched to promote tourism.
The administration will get complete information about the architecture of the Parikrama Marg. Furthermore, the GIS and GPR technology-based surface and underground utility mapping is also being done by the Remote Sensing Applications Center for the development of Moradabad Smart City. The mapping of underground water supply, sewerage lines and other underground lines is also going on at a rapid pace. Once completed, it will ensure smooth water supply to Moradabad.
The data and maps prepared after mapping will be given to the technical staff of the departments related to the Smart City project through a mobile app. It will help in quick rectification of technical faults in underground pipelines. The Remote Sensing Applications Centre, which has been designated as the nodal agency by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, is also preparing the digital database of the PWD road routes in the state.
It will be prepared and uploaded on the geo-portal of the department through the mobile app. Besides, linking of the database for roads maintenance, reconstruction, budget and expenditure etc is underway so that information about the maintenance and reconstruction or widening of roads can be obtained.
