CCTV cameras at check posts to be linked with modern control room

Coimbatore: CCTV cameras on the 13 border check posts in the district will be linked with the district police modern control room in the city, district superintendent of police Ara Arularasu said.
“We have a modern control room and video wall in the control room. We are going to connect all the CCTV cameras fixed on the border check posts to the modern control room soon. We have around 250 CCTV cameras in Pollachi, Mettupalayam and Valparai,” Arularasu told TOI on Tuesday.
Arularasu said to curb the movement of hawala money on bypass road, an out police station will be set up at Walayar check post.
“There is no police station on the Karumathampatti–Walayar stretch (more than 35 km). We usually check vehicles entering Coimbatore from Kerala. Hereafter, we plan to check the vehicles entering Kerala from Coimbatore at the Walayar check post. We can control the movements of contraband items, hawala money etc.,” Arularasu said.
The rural police have check posts on the Tamil Nadu -Kerala border at Mulli, Gopanari, Anaikatti, Walayar, Veerappagoundanur, Gopalapuram, Nadupuni, Vadakkukadu, Zaminkaliyapuram, Meenakshipuram, Semmanampathy and Malukkuparai. Every check post has four CCTV cameras with high resolution and digital video recorder where the CCTV footage can be stored for a period of one month.
