Cyberabad began a re-verification process for more than 1.37 lakh geo-tagged CCTV cameras installed under the ‘Nenu Saitham’ initiative across the commissionerate to ensure that all cameras remain functional and up to date.
During a video conference attended by station house officers and sub-inspectors from all police stations, the Commissioner M. Ramesh reviewed the status, maintenance, geo-tagging and re-verification of the cameras.
Police officials informed the meeting that a total of 1,37,042 ‘Nenu Saitham’ CCTV cameras have been installed across the Cyberabad Commissionerate. Of these, 42,475 are located in the Serilingampally zone, 53,424 in the Kukatpally zone and 41,143 in the Quthbullapur zone.
Mr. Ramesh directed officials to identify non-functional cameras and ensure their immediate repair. Police stations were asked to assess areas requiring additional surveillance coverage and take steps to facilitate the installation of new cameras where necessary.
He further instructed officers to ensure that all cameras under the initiative are geo-tagged and that their records are regularly updated.
As part of efforts to expand the surveillance network, police have been asked to encourage residents, business establishments, apartment associations and educational institutions to participate in the ‘Nenu Saitham’ programme by installing CCTV cameras facing public roads.
He also directed station house officers and sub-inspectors to regularly monitor the performance of CCTV cameras within their jurisdictions and carry out periodic inspections to ensure uninterrupted surveillance coverage.
