The directory is a comprehensive city map guide, says Indian Resources Information & Management Technologies Ltd (IN-RIMT), which has brought it out.

Remote Sensing

Banks, hotels, hospitals, police stations, public utility services, water bodies, colonies, parks roads, railway lines, patterns of urban dwellings including the series of buildings and other user-friendly map information have been incorporated.

Tourists to Hyderabad, planners, engineers, corporates, logistic companies, retail, administrators are some of the groups that would find the map useful, said Dr Subba Rao Pavuluri, Managing Director of Ananth Technologies Ltd, the parent company of IN-RIMT.
