30k properties have no mention in NMC database, not in tax net

1 2 Nagpur: A recent land use verification exercise by the development plan (DP) unit of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) revealed 30,000 previously unrecorded structures or properties within city limits. This discovery raises serious questions about tax evasion and gaps in civic data integration. The DP unit discovered the structures while verifying existing land use as part of its urban planning mandate. Following the revelation, the NMC's property tax department initiated a detailed cross-verification of the data. Officials plan to superimpose the new findings on the corporation's existing GIS (geographical information system) property database to identify properties not included in the tax net. Speaking to TOI, a senior official from the property tax department said, "The DP team surveyed and marked polygons for structures that do not exist in our current system. These structures may include buildings constructed on what were previously recorded as open plots, and we may already be levying tax based only on open plot status." He added that the property tax department will now overlay the new polygons received from the DP survey onto the GIS database to match them against the existing tax records.

It's likely that updated data will capture new buildings constructed in the last few years that were never officially reported," the official said. Currently, NMC levies tax on around 6.37 lakh properties. However, the number of constructed properties may be significantly higher if these 30,000 new units are found to be genuine and taxable. Tax officials admitted that in many cases, building permissions are either delayed or not reported to the tax department, leading to gaps between actual construction and tax assessment. The ongoing integration between the DP's updated land use records and the GIS-based taxation system is expected to bridge this gap. NMC officials confirmed that once the GIS superimposition is completed, a ground-truthing exercise will follow to verify the physical status of each new property. Based on the results, the civic body may issue fresh assessment notices to bring these properties under the tax net — potentially boosting municipal revenue significantly.

MCD: New dumping began after cleaning Singhola landfill site

New Delhi: Facing criticism for developing a fourth landfill at Singhola after Okhla, Bhalswa and Ghazipur, Municipal Corporation of Delhi claimed that it cleared all the deposited silt at the 7.2-acre location through bioremediation by mid-June. Over six months, 7.59 lakh MT of silt was removed. Following the site clearance, the dumping of silt from eight zones—Shahdara North, Shahdara South, Civil Lines, City SP, Rohini, Narela, Keshav Puram and Karol Bagh—started on July 1 as no alternative location was available, officials said. Daily bioremediation and biomining processes were implemented to prevent substantial waste accumulation, they added. In 2018, Delhi Development Authority allotted the land in Khampur village to the erstwhile east corporation for silt disposal. Subsequently, other agencies, including Public works Department and the irrigation & flood control department, also began utilising the site to dump silt collected during their yearly pre-monsoon drainage cleaning operations. "As a result, within five years of the allotment, the land ran out of capacity," said an official.

A process to invite tenders started in March 2024 to identify an agencies to implement the task. "MCD awarded the desilting tender in Nov 2024, with 8,000MT of silt reportedly processed daily. The work started after the Supreme Court's direction and the final cost of the project turned out to be Rs 46 crore," said the official. Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh added that BJP govt was fully committed to eradicating the mountains of garbage in the city in a time-bound manner and MCD was working diligently to make Delhi clean and green. Most of the silt was earlier sent to Bhalswa, Ghazipur and Okhla landfills, according to officials. Due to the need to decrease the height of these landfills, especially Bhalswa, within fixed timelines, the authorities decided to transfer the silt generated after the cleaning of drains to Singhola.

Gemini goes local as Google courts Indian developers

Bengaluru: When Indian developers previously queried Google's AI models, their requests travelled thousands of kilometres to servers in other countries before returning with responses. That status quo changed a bit when Google unveiled four announcements at its developer-focused I/O event in Bengaluru on Wednesday, with one of the announcements being the localisation of AI processing within India's borders. "Indian developers can now use the powerful AI capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Flash here in India," Bikram Singh Bedi, vice president of Google Cloud Asia Pacific, told TOI. "Processing will now be available in India, and this is going to be critical from a perspective of data residency as well as low latency." The announcement addresses two critical concerns for Indian businesses – data residency regulatory concerns and latency issues. Previously, queries to Google's AI models would route through servers in the US or other global regions, not anymore though. "Certain applications need low latency, especially the ones where you're looking for real-time responses," Bedi explained.

Financial trading platforms require split-second responses, whilst customer service chatbots need immediate responses to maintain natural conversations. Manufacturing systems monitoring equipment breakdowns cannot afford delays that might result in costly production stoppages. The second major announcement centred on Firebase, Google's popular development platform. "We have deeply integrated the Gemini 2.5 Pro into our development platforms - both AI Studio and Firebase Studio," Bedi revealed. "Developers can now use multimodal prompts — video, image, speech, text — and they can build full-stack AI applications with AI-generated templates and powerful agentic features." The integration, Bedi said, allows developers to give simple prompts directly within the code editor to generate complete applications. Hardware constraints, a perennial concern for Indian developers targeting budget smartphones, formed the backdrop to announcement number three. Google unveiled Gemma 3, the newest member of its open-source family, and highlighted the Gemma 3n variant optimised for devices with as little as 2 giga byte of RAM. "Gemma 3 is significantly ahead of anything else out there and they're supporting 140 languages, including six Indian languages," Bedi said. Skills, rather than silicon, framed the final set piece. Last year's Gen AI Exchange programme—an online academy and hackathon series launched by Google and supported by the central govt—registered 270,000 learners and reached five million developers through satellite events. "Courses completed have topped thirty thousand, but that is only the warm-up," Bedi said, announcing a second edition hackathon that opens for entries next month. Winners will receive Google Cloud credits, mentoring, and a fast track to showcase their projects at next year's I/O. The exchange, launched first in India and now spreading worldwide, is designed to close what Google and other analysts peg as a severe skills gap across IT and security roles. According to Bedi, enterprises in India are rapidly adopting AI in a slew of different verticals. "Look at Federal Bank of India - they are leveraging our AI to improve customer service. They have this friendly AI personal assistant called Fedi," Bedi explained. "They are seeing a 25% rise in customer satisfaction and 50% saving in customer care cost." Mahindra & Mahindra is another example of a large Indian conglomerate leveraging AI in diverse ways, said Bedi. "They are using our Google Cloud Vertex AI platform for cutting-edge work in R&D, engineering, simulations, and manufacturing plants. They're looking at use cases like zero breakdown, energy consumption optimization, among others," Bedi said. Uttar Pradesh, Bedi said, is building an open agricultural network on Gemini "to put micro climate data and market prices in every farmer's pocket". Such examples, he argued, show that generative AI has moved from a curiosity to a basic requirement for organisations and state govts that want to stay competitive.
