The Gurugram police have received around 150 complaints at city surveillance system which became operational from January at the Commissioner of police office. The system, also known as Anti-crime networking tracking system, is installed to control traffic violations and petty crimes.

“The cop on duty will contact the nearest PCR to help the victim. Later they will inform the concern police station who will tackle the matter”.

“The city surveillance system will help us to development identity of the criminal as well as traffic violators. We can check traffic movement in just a click in the ambit of the cameras. We are also sending postal challan to the traffic violators with the help of this technology. The surveillance system is being worked 24x7,” the DCP, said.
