Thanks Mr. Rao,

I may bring it to your notice that my query was with regard to public land and not public place.

Whether the municpalities maintain record of all public lands. If so, under which provision of law.

Also under which provision of law municipalities (local bodies) prepare and maintain approved maps and layouts.

Whether any land vest in the Municipalities as per my query.
