SP calls for public participation in expanding ‘third eye’
In a major step forward, the police department in Tenkasi district has installed 650 CCTV cameras in the last 35 days and it has appealed to the public to participate in installation of more surveillance gadgets in residential and public areas.
Coined ‘Safe Tenkasi Initiative’ by Superintendent of Police Krishnaraj, police say they propose to cover the entire district in a phased manner.
The district, which has a floating population including from neighbouring Kerala, is expanding manifold. Under such circumstances, police have more challenges to prevent crimes and ensure maintenance of law and order.With the CCTV cameras coming in handy to custodians of law, they plan to widen the ‘third eye’ to more locations in the coming days. By installing cameras in and around bus stand, bus stops, important shrines, business areas and near ATMs, the crimes can be swiftly detected.
