Agreed.

I seem to remember comments on this list previously saying that in at 
least some areas in India the Bing imagery is a bit out of date.  I've 
no idea if that is the case for Jalandhar, but if I was going to map 
there remotely I'd probably try and ping a message to any local mappers 
via a local talk list first (which, of course, may already have happened).

Cheers,
