Speaking to Nation Next, DCP Zone 4 from Nagpur Raj Tilak Roushan said, “These cameras have been extremely helpful in crime detection, prevention, etc., since two years now. It has become easier for us to give instructions to our police personnel especially during huge rallies, processions, and even during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Dussehra, to name a few. Around 3600 cameras are fully operational; only 40-50 cameras aren’t currently operational.”

Speaking about the system of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD), Roushan said that earlier this system was in the demo phase. Now it’s on the verge of being completely operational. It’s going to be of great use.”
