Gurugram, March 19 -- Gurugram Police have started installing CCTV cameras on identified spots and key intersections along the Sohna-elevated road on Tuesday to enhance safety of commuters, officials said on Wednesday. Among the locations were Vatika Chowk, a key intersection connecting the Golf Course Extension and Southern Peripheral roads, and near Iskcon Temple in Sector 67, officials added. A senior police officer at Badshahpur police station said the four-kilometer stretch required increased surveillance due to the heavy vehicle movement. "The cameras will help track down vehicles during crashes and identify traffic violations during peak hours," the senior official said. He added that regular inspections will be ensured through live-monitoring from the traffic control room in Sushant Lok-1 and the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) in Sector 44. According to officials, cameras will also be installed on the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) in the coming weeks. "Such initiatives are undertaken by the police in partnership with private firms and businesses through their corporate social responsibility, or with the help of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), other than using our own funds," said Sandeep Turan, spokesperson of Gurugram police. A GMDA spokesperson said under phase-2 of the surveillance project, the authority has been laying approximately 300-km of additional underground optical fibre cable to install 2,722 CCTV cameras at 258 locations in the district. "The authority awarded a tender to a private agency last year. The areas include Sohna, Badshahpur, Pataudi, Farruk Nagar, Dhankot, Chandu Budhera, Panchgaon, Bilaspur, among others," the spokesperson said....
