MUMBAI: A centrally-funded project to integrate policing in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai will soon come into operation in the megapolis.

"We will use latest technologies to police from the sea, land and air in the project which is being undertaken in other metros having satellite towns as well," said Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on the sidelines of an event here.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Administration) Subhash Awate said, "The project is being implemented in seven metros across the country which have a population of more than seven million people."

The commissionerates of Mumbai, Thane (city), Navi Mumbai, Railway Police and some part of Thane (rural) will be integrated in the Rs 300 crore project initially spread across five years, he said.

"The idea is to integrate without hurting the present command structure so that all kinds of organised crimes and subversive activities like terrorism, underworld are curbed," he said.

Under the project, the megapolis will have a central control room and a common database, Awate said, adding that all the police stations in the entire region will also be connected under the project so that information regarding crimes is shared swiftly.

The police will also be getting a helicopter under the project. "We have applied for it, though we are yet to fix its role -- whether it would do surveillance job, rescue work etc -- is being discussed," he said.
