Hi-tech cameras to track traffic violators in Greater Noida too

NOIDA: Greater Noida will get an Integrated Security and Traffic Management System (ISTMS), similar to that in Noida. Noida Authority Ritu Maheshwari has asked officials concerned to conduct an assessment and submit a report in this matter.
Maheshwari said, "During a visit, the CM told officials to implement ISTMS in both Noida and Greater Noida. Besides traffic management, the ISTMS will ensure health monitoring, municipal solid waste management and policing. I have asked officials to work on the project."
Currently, the ISTMS is fully functional at 82 locations in Noida. Equipped with 1,065 hi-tech cameras, the ISTMS will issue challans to traffic violators and help investigate criminal cases in the city.
Greater Noida also will get these cameras at intersections, entry points and near dumping sites and toilets. The system will integrate different types of data, which will link to the control room.
E-cycle project on cards too
Another ambitious project of the Noida Authority, e-cycles, will also be introduced in Greater Noida to provide last-mile connectivity.
By December-end, 620 e-cycles will be available at 62 docking stations in Noida. The Noida Authority has selected two companies to provide the e-cycles in a phased manner.
Maheshwari said that a similar set-up would be developed in Greater Noida.
Search on for mural spots
GNIDA will also identify spaces to install colourful paintings to highlight the "look and feel" of the industrial city.
In Noida, such artwork has come up at the metro stations, flyovers and underpasses.
Besides, officials will identify "dark spots" and make provisions for street lighting.
Health ATMs at 50 places
GNIDA will install health ATMs at 50 places, including the district collectorate, the authority office, and bus depot.
Preparations to set up ATMs at four community health centres under the authority are also on.
Inquiry into irregulaties
Lastly, the CEO ordered an inquiry into alleged irregularities in job appointments at GNIDA. According to allegations, relatives of GNIDA employees got contractual jobs with the authority in violation of rules.
