According to Economic Times after the concerns raised by President Abdul kalam over the pictures of Indian sensitive sites on google earth both google and government have found a solution i.e. Fuzzy, low resolution pictures and distorted building plans so that images of sensitive military and scientific establishments available on the Web could  be protected from unauthorised snooping or become a ready reckoner for terrorists.

Images of these locations will not be of more than 25-50 metre resolution, more like the older generation pictures provided by Indian Remote Sensing satellites. Official sources said Google Earth would distort building plans by adding structures where none existed or masking certain aspects of a facility.
