Questions people ask
Can I check if land is forest or CRZ by API?
Yes, at village level: /village/{lgd}/layers returns restricted land kinds with their share of the village, plus acquisition notices with survey numbers.
Does a clean result mean the land is free of restrictions?
No. It means none is recorded in what the register has loaded. Confirm with the forest, coastal or revenue authority.
Can I find a plot in an acquisition notice?
Notices list survey numbers. Compare them with the plot number from /village/{lgd}/plots, or read the notices on the plot record.
