[Talk-in] Fwd: Roads in India: How complete is OpenStreetMap ?

Here is the updated spreadsheet containing most information about roads
which was gathered from the state PWD sources and Basic Road Statistics of
India
<http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/file/basic%20road%20statistics%20of%20india.pdf>
document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uYmQEyZqP2tMe1cJYJUVcNIhFPCdzETsBh1kaSCZplI/edit#gid=1160952226
.

The "*Basic Road Statistics of India*" contain comprehensive road
statistics of India updated until 2010-11. As a general rule, the higher
number among different sources and/or the most recent updated data has been
quoted in case of conflicting statistics from various sources.

It has also been observed that states like "Arunachal Pradesh" and some of
the Union Territories have very little information available on their road
networks. Also, most of the PWD sources are outdated with some even dating
back to 2007. These figures are by no means final and absolutely correct.
It would be great to have the OSM community to join their hands in looking
into these figures and update the spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uYmQEyZqP2tMe1cJYJUVcNIhFPCdzETsBh1kaSCZplI/edit#gid=1160952226>
with
the any relevant sources they gather and also cite these sources in the
spreadsheet.

Thanks,
Abhishek Saikia
