He said though the process was initiated now, he is confident that it will be completed by December 31 and images would be uploaded on a newly-created portal.
Over 600 colonies have been digitally mapped so far, he said.
He said digital mapping was an important process before ownership rights can be granted to those living in such dwellings. (PTI)
