Presiding over a meeting with the officers concerned, the Chief Secretary directed them to finalize comprehensive components required for technology solutions for setting up surveillance in cities. Besides this, the officers were asked to prepare a plan for the traffic management system, finalizing uniform specifications of the tender for installation of e-surveillance CCTV cameras. A comprehensive study of various new and unique initiatives is essential for document preparation. For this, presentations on various aspects such as challenges and drawbacks should be taken in coordination with the officers handling such projects in different cities like Faridabad, Karnal and Gurugram, he added.
Since the technology is continuously upgrading therefore such agencies should also be consulted which are already working in these areas. He also directed the officers to study the Chandigarh and Delhi models for this robust surveillance system.

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) will be prepared by this Department prescribing the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder department to ensure optimum use of technology. Apart from this, the work of installation and management of CCTV cameras will be done by the ULB in coordination with various departments.
