JAMMU: In the wake of the Delhi serial blasts, the Jammu and Kashmir police have decided to install Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras at several vital installations in Srinagar and Jammu to keep a watch on the movement of suspected persons.
"Now Srinagar and Jammu, twin capitals of J&K would have wireless based CCTV cameras to keep an eye on movement of suspected persons and militants. Besides, they would also be installed at sensitive and vital installations in the state," police officials said.
"A full-fledged exercise was carried out by the police recently after the Delhi blasts that killed 24 people. It was decided to install wireless CCTVs to keep an eye on sensitive and VVIP areas, vital points and roads in J&K," they said.
The CCTVs will also be installed at pilgrim centres of Mata Vaishnodevi, Ragunath temple complex, railway stations, bus stands, malls, buzzing public and market places there, they added.
Some old cable CCTVs are in use in Srinagar and Jammu since 2006 but they have become faulty and are not working, the police officials said, adding that tenders for purchase of the new wirelss CCTV surveillance equipments have been floated.
The cameras would be installed in open places at cross-roads and high-traffic intensity roads, the tender document released by the police on September 19, said.
"These cameras can catch people who indulge in violent activities in Srinagar city," they said.
The cameras, fitted with 36 zooms can rotate to cover the entire area or focus a particular area. They have the facility of day and night vision -- one of the best in CCTV setups and can record 24 hours a day for 30 days at a stretch, the police officials said.
The CCTV with built in Network Interface Card (NIC) setup, would be remotely monitored from a control room with 41 inch plasma/TFT screens which would give minutest details of the areas, they said.
