Director General of Police Prakash Mishra inaugurated an e-surveillance system at the KIIT University campus on Friday.
He said the CCTV is a modern facility and has become essential these days. Some cities of the country have adopted this system for public security and this e-surveillance system would be introduced in Bhubaneswar on a priority basis and in many other towns of the State subsequently, he said.
He appreciated high quality education at the KIIT and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), stating that the two institutes are role models for others. Founder of KIIT & KISS Dr Achyuta Samanta said that as a result of the new facility, students, teachers and staff of the institute would feel secure.
Sources said the KIIT has installed Asia’s biggest e-surveillance network possible in a university where 1,413 CCTV, including 50 PTCs wireless cameras, are now in place. Another 1,000 CCTV cameras would be installed in the coming month.
