INDIA : Bangalore to get Rs.500 crore for 24x7 surveillance
Publish Date : 20-Sep-2011
As part of a move to enhance security for the tech hub, Karnataka Home Minister R. Ashoka said that closed circuit TVs and high resolution night cameras will be installed at important locations and general crowded area of Bangalore.
The central government has assured to provide Rs.500 crore to implement this move known as \"24X7 surveillance system\" for the city that houses hundreds of IT companies, including Infosys and Wipro.
He further said that this was being done as Bangalore was considered a terror target, but did not disclose as to when these systems would be installed. The surveillance system will also assist police to control crime in the city. He said that the CCTV cameras would be installed at busy areas like city markets, bus and railway stations as well as in the high court premises.
