The level.txt provides all the levels in the place hierarchy. Each row will have short_name and name columns.

PB		Polling Booth

Place Files

There will be mutliple files for specifying places. Each file will be have 3 columns separated with tabs with parent, key and name fields.

For example:

KL/DT01	KL/AC001	Manjeshwar
KL/DT01	KL/AC002	Kasaragod
KL/DT01	KL/AC003	Udma
KL/DT01	KL/AC004	Kanhangad
...

The type of the place is infered from the name of the file. if a file is named as 3-ac.txt, it is assumed that all the places specified are of level AC. This should match the short_name of the level specified in the level.txt file.

For ease of maintanance, files for each state are stored in a subdirectory, named as the 2-letter code of the state. Places which are above the state level are specified as files in the top-level.
