Land Management System launched at Chennai Port

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: To help port users know in advance the area available for licence within the custom bound area, the Chennai Port Trust on Monday introduced GIS based Land Management System.

“The new Land Management System developed by National Informatics Centre along with Electronic Data Processing division of Chennai Port Trust would cover 270 hectares of custom bound area. It took nearly four months to develop the software,” Chennai Port Trust Chairman K. Suresh told The Hindu.

Since the new system covers the layout of the Port area with land and buildings, the user can find out details of a particular plot, whether it is vacant, occupied, to whom it is allotted, the details of the cargo, the duration and the payment status just by a click of the mouse.

Chennai Port Trust Chief Vigilance Officer B.S. Raghunathan said the allotment details could be seen firm-wise and area-wise.

“We can view the details on real-time basis from anywhere. To get a clearer picture, one has to zoom in on a particular area or product. Only the relevant portion will be made visible to the Port users and common man. This will help the traffic department to a great deal and would avoid overstaying of parcel.”
