AGARTALA, December 5 (TIWN): Tripura Police are going to install six closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras to keep a close watch on street crime across the sprawling capital. Out of the six closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras one has been already installed at North gate area, SP(Traffic) Smriti Ranjan Das, here today.
While speaking to TIWN here this evening, SP(Traffic) Smriti Ranjan Das said that the remaining five areas where closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras are going to be installed are Battala, Nagarjala, old motorstand, M.G. Bazar and lake chowmuhani.
The CCTV cameras will help the police in not only averting crimes on roads but collect evidence and quickly nab the culprits. Due to recent cases of many fatal accidents, Tripura Police are planning to install CCTVs at spots across Agartala which see frequent accidents.
The footage collected will help traffic police understand how these accidents take place. Is there any set pattern to it or not? The police will then rectify the flaws," said a senior traffic police on the condition of anonymity.
Last year, the traffic police had shortlisted spots with high fatal accidents. But this year the police have also added those spots where simple accidents are frequent.
According to this project, the traffic police will start with major intersections which are accident prone. It will begin as a pilot project. After analyzing the data and results, the police will then plan its further plan of action, traffic police official said.
