[datameet] Shape file of Ladakh (India)

[Dr Mahesh Gaur]

I need the correct boundary of India-held Ladakh (including Kargil). It

[datameet] Shape/geojson files for Delhi traffic maps

[Satyam Mukherjee]

Hello everyone,
I am looking for the shape file and geojson file for Delhi traffic circles.
See the link below:
https://traffic.delhipolice.gov.in/maps
The maps are in pdf. 
Can anyone help in locating the shape/geojson files. The ward json files 
are available in github, but not the traffic circle/zones of Delhi.
Best wishes,
Satyam

Re: [datameet] Creating variable names in Devanagari

[Sharad Lele]

Thanks, Ujaval. Yes saving as .geopkg works (saves the field names in full 
and displays properly upon reopening). This is the only solution that has 
worked so far.

But I am not sure this is going to work for us in this particular situation 
where we are then using the file in postGIS to display in a webGIS. Let me 
ask our webGIS person.

Re: [datameet] Creating variable names in Devanagari

[Dilawar Singh]

I found this 
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/381308/how-to-change-qgis-3-default-encoding.
 



The file you are loading may have a different encoding that QGIS3. You have to 
verify this manually and make sure that QGIS3 and file encoding is the same. 

I am guessing the while QGIS3 is using utf-8, the file that you are loading may 
be utf-16 encoded. Not sure if there are automated tools that can convert 
UTF-16 files to UTF8 file while preserving unicode 
(https://superuser.com/questions/1786434/convert-utf-16-le-to-utf-8-in-windows-via-command-line).

Just to clarify/muddy the situation: I am able to enter long Devanagari 
text in the District/Jila column without any problems. It is the 
column/field name itself that I run into problems, which may have to do 
with the 8 characteri limit?
