Cameras will track criminals, car robbers, chain snatchers who flee to neighboring districts
The police has proposed installation of 36 video incident detection system (VIDS) cameras, 22 automatic number plate readers (ANPR’s) and pan-tilt room (PTZ) cameras at Rassolpur toll plaza. These cameras have been proposed under zone 2 of the DME from Dasna to UP Gate and will be installed at 29 identified points.
Cameras will be helpful in tracking criminals, chain snatchers and car robbers who flee to nearby districts. The cameras will also be installed at nine entry/exit points and underpass.
At present the police has been penalizing erring drivers only for speed limit violation and once the cameras are installed , violations such as driving without seat belts or helmets and triple riding will be detected and penalized with the help of automatic online challans. The NHAI officials have agreed to install the cameras within two months.
Sources in NHAI have confirmed that DME at present has cemeras that cover every 500 meters of the expressway from UP Gate. Also there are six ANPR’s installed at six entry/exit points of the DME.
