Lahore: Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Arif Nawaz has approved a police surveillance project for three major districts of Punjab: Mianwali, Rahim Yar Khan, and Sialkot – a news source reported. The project will replicate the model set by the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA).
Under this proposed initiative, 450 cameras will be installed in each district (including their entrance and exit points). The authorities concerned have also decided to establish DPO Offices (control rooms) in all the three districts.
Funds for the project will be issued to the respective DPO of the districts instead of the PSCA. The provincial government also plans to hire IT experts for conducting the monitoring task, as well as managing the control rooms.
According to a spokesperson of the Punjab Police department, the purpose behind setting up a vigilant police surveillance system is to reduce crime rates and keep a check on the law and order situation in the three districts.
