Safe City Project will be launched this week to eradicate crimes with the help of latest and modern technologies, said Dr Suhail Habib Tajak, City Police Officer (CPO) on Tuesday. While addressing the members of Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI), he explained the police structure, its performance and future strategies to improve the over all law and order situation within the available resources.
He appreciated the co-operation of local business community for the maintenance of law and order. He said that City police will provide various electrical and digital gadgets at subsidised rates particularly to check the incidents of vehicle theft under Safe City Project. With these appliances, the stolen or snatched vehicle would not go beyond the distance of one Kilometre, he added.
Similarly specially designed cards would be fitted with motorcycles without which two-wheeler could not start. He said that we are also trying to get expensive trackers to regulate and monitor the movement of inter-district vehicular traffic. He said that a comprehensive and well integrated system of CCTV would be installed and all-out efforts would be made to keep them functional round the clock through efficient monitoring. Initially these CCTV cameras would be installed at nine entry andexit points of the city. He said that we are also trying to purchase "Drone Cameras" for the monitoring of public protest and to identify the culprits involved in subversive activities.
Regarding traffic police, he said that there is enough room for improvement in this sector. He said that traffic signals are being linked with solar panels which would help signals to continue to function even during loadshedding of electricity. He said that a radio channel (Chenab Nama) is being launched for the education of drivers and car owners. Rates of various items would be aired from this channel, in addition to providing information of any blockage in the flow of vehicular traffic.
