Nagpur: “The crime rate in Second Capital City of Nagpur has come down substantially,” declared the Commissioner of Police S P Yadav while briefing media persons at Police Gymkhana here on Wednesday.
“This year has witnessed decline in rape cases, chain-snatchings, murders and other crimes of all natures,” stated the Police Commissioner.
The top cop further said that a total of 712 CCTV more cameras are going to be installed at vantage points across the city. These include 193 in Zone 1, 151 in Zone 2, 208 in Zone 3 and 149 in Zone 4. The ‘All Ready’ CCTV cameras already installed at various important places such as Railway Station, Courts, Deekshabhoomi, Airport etc would be linked to ‘CCTV Control Room’ in order to have better surveillance and course of action. A transparent tendering will be done for acquiring CCTVs and their installation. The Nagpur CCTV Control Room will be far more advanced than the ones in Mumbai and Pune.
