As many as 60 sensitive points have been identified in the city, where high-resolution close circuit television (CCTV) cameras are required not only to keep surveillance on the movement of public but also to penalise traffic rules violators.
The Municipal Corporation has moved a proposal to the Haryana Police Housing Corporation requesting it to install 180 cameras at all such points while it had, earlier, installed 250 such cameras in the city in two phases on their own.
These cameras are proving helpful in identifying the people involved in chain snatching, burglary, loot and other criminal cases. Even, several cases have also been cracked on getting information about perpetrators through the cameras’ footage, claimed a police official.
Dr Ravinder Singh, DSP (Traffic), said CCTV cameras were the need of the hour not only to keep a tab on public movement at sensitive points but also to execute traffic rules effectively. Hence a survey was carried out to ascertain such points in the city so that these could be brought under the close watch of the third eye.
“Since all these points fall under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation, Rohtak, hence a list of these was sent to the corporation authorities for installation of high resolution cameras there for multiple purposes,” said the DSP.
