Drones Over Dasgaja: Mapping the Unseen Boundaries The 13th meeting of the Survey Officials Committee, held in Lucknow last week, marked a significant development in the long standing border dispute between India and Nepal.
The decision to use drones to map encroachments along the 'Dasgaja' areas, a 10 yard no man's strip along the international boundary, acknowledges that this issue has been festering for far too long.
The Dasgaja region spans over 1,880 kilometers of open border, plagued by cross border occupation and encroachments.
