ISLAMABAD: Federal Government in a bid to make Federal Capital one of the safest cities in Pakistan, has decided to install additional cameras in the capital to expand coverage of the Safe City Project from 30 per cent to 100 per cent during the current fiscal year.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said at present, the safe city project covered at least 30 per cent area of Islamabad but after the installation of additional cameras the coverage would be extended to the entire city.
Rana Sanaullah said more cameras would be installed at “all important places” and added that immediate funds to the tune of Rs 40 million had been issued to the Safe City Authority to meet its urgent needs.
The PML-N leader said the Islamabad police chief and the director general of the Safe City Authority have been directed to prepare a feasibility report for the expansion of the project.
After completion of the feasibility report, funds would be released for the project within one week, the minister said, without elaborating on the amount needed to expand the project.
