<br/>The height of Mount Everest will soon be re-measured. This follows doubts expressed by a section of scientific community about the world's highest peak shrinking, after the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal nearly two years ago. <br/><br/>Surveyor General of India Swarna Subba Rao said in Hyderabad today that the Survey of India will soon take up a project to gauge the height of Mount Everest. <br/><br/>Speraking on the sidelines of a meeting of the Geospatial World Forum, Mr Rao said, they are sending an expedition to Mount Everest. He added that Everest's height was declared in 1855 and many others also measured it.<br/><br/>He said, the height of 29,028 ft. given by Survey of India, even today, is taken as the correct height. <br/><br/>Mr. Rao pointed out that the second reason for the project is that it will help in scientific studies, tectonic plate movements etc.<br/><br/>He said, the effort should begin in a month and the endeavour would take about a month for observation and another 15 days for computation and declaration of data.<br/><br/>
