Maharashtra government, in a serious bid to reduce response time to curb crimes and improve detection and traffic movement, has worked out a bouquet of initiatives including integrated traffic management system attached to CCTVs which will be subsequently integrated to E chalan. Further, the government has focused on the strengthening forensic laboratories, cybersecurity system and expansion of CCTV network.
Moreover, the state government has proposed another 5,000 CCTV surveillance cameras to curb street crimes and traffic offences. The government will upgrade the existing network of 4,717 cameras and integrate it with the Mumbai Police's 'Dial 100' project to lower the present response time of 12 minutes. The CCTV surveillance cameras have been installed based on the recommendation of RD Pradhan committee which was formed after the 26/11 serial terror attack in Mumbai.
