Control room to come up to monitor sand movement

As part of the control room proposed for continuous monitoring of sand movement from Dakshina Kannada by the district administration, the city police have given the list of 180 places where CCTV cameras have to be installed. “We have given the list of places, along with a map, where the CCTV cameras need to be installed. The district administration will shortly set up the control room to monitor sand movement. These arrangements are being made using the district mineral fund,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Hariram Shankar told reporters on Sunday. The control room is likely to become operational in a month, he added.
