THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA, January 17, 2011: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will provide satellite pictures of Sabarimala area using remote sensing technology for taking measures to prevent disasters like the stampede that claimed 102 lives last week.
ISRO Chairman Dr. K. Radhakrishnan said such three dimensional images would help the government and temple board to improve infrastructure in Sabarimala area and help to avoid such tragedies.
With the support of Union government, ISRO had already prepared a databank of peripheral pictures of around 200 districts in the country. The agency would soon expand the program across the country, ISRO Chairman said.
