Chandigarh: Punjab Police have installed 2,291 CCTV cameras at 585 locations along the border belt to strengthen surveillance and curb cross-border crime, DGP Gaurav Yadav said on Wednesday. The cameras form part of a 'second line of defence' under the 'Gangstran Te Vaar' campaign, aimed at building a technology-driven security grid across vulnerable villages and transit routes.
Integrated Monitoring System
A total of 41 police stations in border districts have also been brought under CCTV coverage, creating an integrated monitoring system, he added. The DGP said anti-drone vigilance has been intensified in districts that have witnessed repeated drops of arms and narcotics.
Strategic Focus
He emphasised that the strategy focuses on dismantling the entire crime network, from cross-border supply to last-mile delivery, and ensuring early detection and swift response. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance security in the region.
