Hi,

I am doing a checking of this data.
I have found about 6-7 very small polygons missing in my data
This and any other corrections I will do today.

If anyone finds anything please let me know.
It would be great if someone downloads and opens the file and tells if it works or there are some hitches.

Dear Dilip, 

Thank you for the lightweight version. I still found the converted KML version of it a bit difficult to use in a Fusion Table; but I copied your KML attributes to correct missing/ erroneous values for my own converted KML (arrived by simplifying geometries of the datameet version by QGIS). 

It is hosted here: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1gMha069AC-bkJjv7TZg5dzWbbbqq1ducBBMF_Sy7

HI Dilip,

Thanks for making the lightweight version. I have checked it, and except for a few minor topological issues, there is only one major issue.

The Constituency of Mandi in HP is being repeated multiple times.

Otherwise it looks great.

Regards,

Devdatta Tengshe

Individual folders may contain separate readme specific to that format

There is an excel file in the root folder which has the data table of all the constituencies.
