Geospatial Information will be part of Data Protection Bill
The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill will be the part of proposed Data Protection Bill for shielding geospatial information.
“One may contend that the proposed geospatial bill and the information assurance charge, which manages information of an individual sort, require various types of authoritative and implementation reaction. Be that as it may, on the off chance that one examination the two bills, there is an impressive cover here.

The cover can be stayed away from,” said the authority.
