Navi Mumbai: The much-delayed closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera project of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is set to go live by March 31 next year.
Municipal Commissioner (additional charge) Abhijit Bangar has directed the officials concerned to complete the installation and related work in the stipulated time.
Around 1,500 CCTV cameras of various types are being installed in the city at a cost of ₹127.63 crore, including maintenance for a period of five years.
The project entails installation of high-definition (HD) fixed and high-speed cameras along with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. The HD cameras will be installed at 108 junctions along with places like bus depot, market, garden, playgrounds, junctions, public places, NMMC offices, Palm Beach Road, Thane-Belapur Road, Sion-Panvel highway and other such places with high traffic.
Besides, panic alarms and call boxes will be installed at 43 locations. As per the demand by the Navi Mumbai police, thermal cameras will be installed along the creek area to keep a vigil on terror, sabotage or anti-national activities.
