The digital land resurvey and mapping of villages in Alappuzha district will begin this week.

"Survey activities will get under way in the district on February 7 or 8. After Pulinkunnu, Veliyanad village will be surveyed. Drones will be used in places having less tree cover. The remaining areas will be surveyed using other techniques such as Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Electronic Total Station (ETS) machines," Mr. Ansad said.
