India's own Google Earth - Bhuvan is safe or not?

YES INDIA MUST SET UP THE GOOGLE EARTH FOR PLANNING URBAN AREAS , WE CAN NOT STOP THE PROGRESS OR DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FEAR OF SOME MILITANTS .

WILL YOU STOP PRODUCTION OF KNIFE IF SOME BODY IS KILLED BY A KNIFE.THIS IS NEVER A MATTER TO BE AFRID OF.

It is the effort of our scientist to compitit with US monopolist strategy.

Lets understand what is terrorism-creating terror by mean of bulets, considering possible threats security agencies are alert enough to prevent any such incident happening on road but Now a days terrorist attacks are based on soft skills of planning and executing, and Bhuvan will surely help them trace thier targets and plannings,,..... guys lets accept this ,

i think technologies for mass uses do always have demarits of misuse in them.... lets hope for some one best

I think its as safe as it can get. I personally do not like the Google ground views and see it as a violation of people civil rights. Lots of action, especially in lawsuits against them over this, and some countries say they have accessed and presented too much information......

Do you want someone looking 360 degrees around your business, house or the home of a family member? That being said, the technology is extremely useful. Sure bad people do bad things, but that should not stop or even slow down this project.

Superb!

Forget security hacks and all that, we should simply forge ahead!! IS the CIA or FBI safe from hacking?? It still is the most feared and coveted agency in the USof A.

i do agree with u praveen jee...

I don't see any threat to country's security by developing and using BHUVAN.

Whether we have our own search engine or not, already there are many continuously watching the landsacpae. Every inch of the country can be seen in Google earth. If somebody has not tried so far, freely download Google earth search for your home. You can see your car parked in fron of your house and may be your children playing in the courtyard.

I really dont understand the logic of security reasons. Let me tell you when the people decides to destry any thing without fearing to their life then they can do any thing. The classical example is World trade center, Mumbai attack, Rajiv Gandhi murder etc etc.

We should keep on adopting the technology with proper security built in. Let me tell you that even with Google earth you can zoom to any part of world and get the minuest details.

Praveen

I somewhat agree with Mr.Rajesh and like he said there are pros and cons of every thing but one thing we certainly can do is before launching this service,first there should have an adequate security in place for this so that no one can misuse it to their advantage.Like other users also said we cannot stop doing our work fearing someone that they can use it to our disadvantage.

Yes there is maximum possibilities that one can misuse these informations.As in google british important places were visible and due to security reasons the face book users may be under scanner...

I agree Abraham.....

Everyone is correct.

I would say in this manner  "Shall we stop storing POTATOS for the fear of RATs?"

We keep storing the potatos and teach the right ways to the RATs as well   :)

That's the basic rule.

We all like this ....and It should be safe.. Terrorist attacks can't stop India from growing in its technology completeness.

It will be safe..they must be aware of misuse of google earth by terrorist...so sufficient safe gaurds must have been taken.llike blocking senstive points etc..Bhuvan is a real technology feast for India..It must come.We can not stop ourselves in developing something fearing some body will missue it...this is not the answer.

It should be safe.. Terrorist attacks can't stop India from growing in its technology competeness.

I think that it safe,secure...and may help india pushing towards innovations, help alaraming disasters,will give information like land use, ground water potential and soil types, finding expensive assets of old times that hidden inside the soil etc...
