Cyberabad Corporation Proposes GIS Mapping of Graveyards and Crematoriums

The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation has proposed GIS-enabled mapping of graveyards, burial grounds and cremation facilities across its jurisdiction. The initiative aims to create a <b>centralised digital inventory</b> covering facilities regardless of religion, community or type of last rites, including conventional and electric crematoriums and combined burial-and-cremation complexes. After surrounding municipal bodies merged into the expanded corporation earlier this year, CMC lacks a consolidated record of these facilities. The proposed survey will document their locations, boundaries, ownership, infrastructure and condition. The civic body plans to hire specialised agencies to conduct the survey and develop a web-GIS platform for officials to access, update and monitor facility information.
