Google has announced the relaunch of Google Maps feature, Street View, in India after many years of rejection.

The Street View feature will allow users to explore an area through 360-degree panoramic street-level images in India. According to the company, the feature was banned roughly six years ago over security concerns in the country.

Miriam Karthika Daniel, VP – Maps Experiences at Google, made the disclosure on Wednesday at the launching event in Delhi.

“Starting today, Street View will be available on Google Maps with fresh imagery intensity in India that is covering 150,000 kilometers (93,205 miles) of roads that’s actually been ingested into Google Maps,” said Miriam.

Miriam further noted that Google has partnered with local giants Genesys and Tech Mahindra to relaunch the service.
