Guwahati's Rs 177-Cr Intelligent City Surveillance Project Progresses with 1,000 Cameras Installed
Guwahati is advancing its Rs 177-crore Intelligent City Surveillance System (ICSS) project, aiming to enhance public safety and traffic management. Approximately 1,000 out of 2,000 planned CCTV cameras have been installed across the metropolitan area. This upgraded system, operated jointly by Guwahati Smart City Limited and Assam Police, is intended to improve crime deterrence, aid investigations, and streamline disaster management. The project, which began last year, is expected to be completed in the new year, replacing an earlier incomplete traffic management system.
