Motivation
[edit]The pre-existing "LGD local body code" property which is used for various types of Indian administrative entities like states/districts/subdistricts has a couple of problems. Firstly the collision problem, there can be collision across various entity types( a state LGD code can be the same of another district's LGD code ). Secondly, there is also a problem where any block of West Bengal has 2 LGD codes, one as subdistrict and another as a block, this breaks the single value constraint. Creation of separate LGD State or UT code, LGD District Code, LGD Subdistrict Code, LGD Block Code etc would alleviate these problems. LGD Subdistrict Code is one of the separate identifiers which is to be used only for the Subdistrict entities. --RamSeraph (talk) 11:55, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
