Noida to be equipped with 1,000 high-tech cameras as part of two-fold initiative by police
Reported by Lakshay Rana
More than 1,000 new high-tech cameras will keep 24/7 vigil on Noida roads in next one year. The move is one of the series of initiatives undertaken to build police-people trust following the appointment of Alok Kumar Singh as Gautam Budh Nagar Police Commissioner.
Earlier, Noida Police had launched a Good Morning Noida initiative in a bid to connect with people.
Giving details about the plan of installing 1000 cameras, Noida Traffic Police DCP Rajesh S told India TV that soon Noida roads would be equipped with high-tech cameras in large numbers.
He said that within the next one year, over 1,000 cameras will be installed on several roads in Noida. These cameras will not only help monitor criminal activities but will also be used to issue traffic challans to those who violate rules.
He said that since the government's new Motor Vehicle Act has been implemented, there has been a rise in the challans issued by the traffic police. "Earlier there were only 100 traffic policemen in Noida while now the number has increased to 400," he said.
He also spoke of the protocol in case of a VIP movement in the city. He said that after prior information is received on any VIP movement, the police plans the route accordingly. All the policemen who are deployed at the VIP route are constantly in touch with the control room. He said that the traffic on the route is tracked regularly and accordingly any changes that are required are made.
