New control room monitors CCTV footage
AHMEDABAD: A new control room to view CCTV footage from cameras installed at important points in the city became operational in the compound at the Police commissioner’s Office in Shahibaugh. “This control room is addition to the monitoring system already installed at the control room in Shahibaugh,” said a senior police officer.
Sources in the police said that it will be possible to zoom and pan CCTV cameras from the new control room itself. “The cameras installed by the police under the Suraksha Setu initiative will transmit the footage to the newly set up control room,” said a source.
The control room has been made operational mainly to keep close watch on mischief-makers and other anti-social elements during the two mega events, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas and Vibrant Gujarat Summit.
Further, to enhance security for the two high-profile events, special police have been deployed at the Kankaria Lake and the riverfront where different programmes will be held during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the military police met senior police officials. Sources said that at some places, apart from the NSG and the SPG, personnel of the military police will also keep an eye on the goings-on.
