The facility will also help enforce the model code of conduct for the upcoming civic polls
An integrated police control room at the office of the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Ranipet was inaugurated by Z. Annie Vijaya, DIG of Vellore on Saturday. The new facility will help the district police monitor its nine border checkposts, having 18 CCTV cameras working round-the-clock.
Accompanied by Ranipet SP Deepa Satyan, Ms. Vijaya said the new integrated surveillance system is a much-needed facility for preventing crime, especially in State borders and Chennai, the capital city. Interestingly, Ranipet district shares border with Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. With the urban local bodies polls on February 19, the facility will help enforce the existing Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by monitoring vehicle movement on key routes, including the Bengaluru Highway (NH: 48) in the district.
“As Ranipet district remains the key entry and exit point to Chennai, industrial zones in Kancheepuram and neighbouring States, such a new facility will help better surveillance in preventing crime,” said Ms. Vijaya.
