Quetta Safe City project in limbo

Quetta Safe City Project is in limbo despite allocation of Rs 300 million to install the security cameras in the city. The project included installation of about 1,400 security cameras, three scanners on main entrances of the city, laying down of 300km fiber optic cable, 260 poles, integrated security control rooms with hardware and screens. Talking to APP, an official of the Home Department said that the project was not started yet due to financial and administrative issues. When contacted, the project director declined to give information in that regard.
Mosa Jan, a local resident, said the safe city project was being delayed due to deficiency of capable officers with good repute and spirit to serve the people. He said delay in the project had increased the ratio of street crimes. He said the project would also be helpful in maintaining traffic mess which was direly needed in the city. He said the project would improve security situation in the city too.
