In an era of boosting confidence in terms of safety and security to the people, CCTV cameras have been erected in Sector 45 of the Chandigarh City with the motive of enhancing monitoring and prevention of crime. The news in the recent times revels that several high-resolution cameras have been fixed at strategic locations within the region such as markets, residential roads, and entry/exit road. This is among the steps that the city administration has taken toward improving the security infrastructure and checking on them in real time. The locals have hailed the action as they believe that it will stop anti-social elements and also take shorter time to respond to emergencies.
The live feed of these CCTV cameras as per the officials, will be viewed in the local police control room and immediate action could be taken in case of any suspicious event. The local residents have taken the news positively and mainly the shopkeepers and the senior citizens feel that the surveillance network will aid to curb thefts and crimes on the streets. Privacy of the data is promised to be given and additional such installations will soon be seen in other industries in the months to come under the smart governance program of the city.
