Chandigarh: The Haryana government would install CCTV cameras in all cities and
replace CFL bulbs with the more-efficient LED lights in all civic
bodies, a state minister said today.
A sum of Rs 100 crore would
be spent to replace the CFL bulbs with LED lights in all municipal
corporations, municipal committees and municipalities, said Kavita Jain,
the urban local bodies minister, after inaugurating the installation
work of a CCTV project in Sonepat city.
More than 190 CCTV
cameras at a cost of Rs 8.80 crore would be installed at 52 spots in
Sonepat. Out of these, around 165 cameras would be fix-box type with a
range of 25-40 metres and 27 cameras would have a 300-500 metre range,
Jain said.
All CCTV cameras would be connected through
underground wire with a proposed control room. The entire work would get
complete within six months, the minister said.
The installation
of these CCTV cameras would not only provide security to shopkeepers
and other people, but would also prove to be beneficial for safety of
women, she added.
