As part of it, survey training programme was organised for 20,000 staff of municipal and planning departments .

The officials are going to take up survey of properties in 648 villages merged into nearby municipalities. A project management unit was formed both at municipal commissionerate and municipalities. As per the primary estimates, there were as many as 31 lakh properties and seven lakh vacant lands in 123 municipalities and in the resurvey the properties are likely to go up by 10 per cent. The officials are developing a special software for this purpose.
