There was lot of uproar due to recent demolitions in Bangalore. Under fire from public and political parties BBMP is releasing whatever maps they got with them and is promising to upload GIS data as well.
About the development in the newspapers
BBMP does has digital maps of the city and you can look into the property ids over layed on the maps beside lakes. But they sharing screenshots of Google Earth.
Can we track these developments and also the license under which BBMP is releasing the GIS data. I am not sure if it is even worth crawling this data, it is in consumable with all the scans and irregularities.
