Hiya, the json when overlaid on a map is quite badly misaligned. Is there a solution? Thanks.

I'm so sorry, I quite forgot to mention. This one https://github.com/HindustanTimesLabs/shapefiles/blob/master/city/mumbai/ward/mumbai_ward.json. which for some reason no longer loads inside githib, says "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?". So I took the shapefile into QGIS. Since it didnt have a CRS, I set it to WGS84. Some examples, overlaid on OSM:

I see the same with Delhi ward maps: https://github.com/HindustanTimesLabs/shapefiles/blob/master/city/delhi/ward/delhi_ward.json

This image has base layer = OSM, pink = pre 2017 delimitation and brown = HT current from above link. Here also one can see a rather large mismatch:

@zehawki Have you figured out what the CRS is?
@HarryStevens thank you very much for sharing these shapefiles, they are incredibly useful! I too am struggling the the CRS. Do you know what the CRS is of these shapefiles, please?
