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

[Naveen Francis]

Hi Nikhil,

IMHO it will good to keep SHs,MDRs separate from village roads. Already we
have mapped SHs.

We will be able to know how much we have mapped on this front.

Village roads= Total road - ( PWD (R&B) [includes SHs + MDRs] + PWD (NH) )
