Police are in the efforts to increase the surveillance camera network in residential areas coming under its east sub-division.
According to senior police officers, each police station coming under east sub-division has been tasked to set up a network of at least 100 road facing surveillance cameras with the partnership of the public.
Prevention and detection of crimes such as housebreaks, robbery and chain snatching are among the main objectives behind creating the additional surveillance camera networks in residential areas.
Recently, Police Commissioner Sumit Sharan launched two similar camera networks set up by the Race Course and Kuniyamuthur police stations.
