Thanks.

[yashpal2104]

Well I did try to resolve this issue but I was not able to convert it to a zip file ie from the gdb file, would you like to point me to the resources where I can study and implement this to solve this issue. Thanks

[VedantKhairnar]

Hello @dhruv-1001,
Will you pls help Yash?
Thanks.

[yashpal2104]

Quick question I found out how to use zip tool not the one specified because it does not work but 7zip works I converted the gdb file to a zip file. Question now is I chose Meghalaya so should I add all the districts into a file then make a PR or should I gradually add all the districts one by one making PRs? Also the data is not available it says "Selected Product currently not available kindly contact Survey of India" can anyone help me with this I have got the approach on how I will do it.

[yashpal2104]

@VedantKhairnar @dhruv-1001 Do we have the data for Meghalaya because I am not able to buy it.

[Savio629]

@35C4n0r Can you look into this?

[Atharva-developer]

Hello @dhruv-1001 @ChakshuGautam no dataset is available for districts of Meghalaya, kindly check.
