WORKERS KINGS
Cause It would be insane to have palaces for kings without golf courses in the desert
Carefully engineered quarters and compound for security officials and other workers in royal palace. But unlike the royals they dont deserve green.
But the approach which the royals take should be green..
8 Helipads at the side of the palace were not enough. So they put two more in front of the palaces but not obstructing their golf courses
After all this, they couldn't put that design in the center of the roundabout.. Why it is that way will remain a secret
Basically 3 classes of tickets
1. Royal
2. Servants
3. Construction workers (probably & predominantly migrant)

The 3 have to live in different worlds as the project shapes up

May had been asking me whether Isha encroached forest lands. IMO this is deviating from actual issue. Read full thread

Isha didNOT build on forest dept lands as such but it VIOLATED rules in other ways

Old Satellite image & map show that it was not forest but revenue land ImageImage
Inorder to protect out environment, we had framed laws to secure permissions from necessary authorities. Since it was farmland and since it came under Hill Area Conservation Authority, necessary permissions were to be secured from respective offices
In their webpage, Isha says that they secured permission to construct statue on Sep - Nov 2016. But prior to securing permission itself they started constructing. Attached #Satellite images from Jan & Feb 2016 show that construction had already started before securing permission ImageImageImageImage

Short story/Thread:

There was a Madras high court order on lake encroachment & judge said "whether it is 112 crores or 1K crores, we will destroy it. Get bulldozers ready"

But my lord, Madurai Bench of Madras High court was constructed in lake

Old Satellite image attached
1/n
And may be we'll get justice from the lower district court in Madurai. But that is also built on a lake
May be we should go even lower to the law college... But law college is also on a lake

A Kutty (Short) Story with Satellite Images about a hamlet near Tirunelveli, #TamilNadu

In 2003, the hamlet can be seen (marked in orange). It is next to Tirunelveli - Madurai railway line. There's a crossing (marked in black) through which people went to the nearby main road
Around 2018, Railways decided to build an underpass for this village so that they can double track this corridor. Concrete boxes can be seen in the image
And they started constructing the underpass by digging as seen in this satellite image

The new Geospatial Data guidelines are revolutionary but it can do more!

My comments as published in @TheWireScience:

Thanks: @1amnerd

FYI: @PrinSciAdvGoI @drharshvardhan @IndiaDST

Read thread for highlights!
Best part in the guidelines! "License Raj" is to be dismantled...
A Logical move! I personally learned many defense areas because they appeared black in satellite images 🤣

This man who is part of a national media network has published a wrong map of India as per Indian law. It shows parts of Ladakh which were ceded by Pakistan to China and around Siachen as "not part" of India.

Will the government punish him? #Curious
For those who are not sure of which place I am talking about
What does the law say?
