Bengaluru has achieved a significant milestone in its mission to enhance urban safety with the successful implementation of the ‘Safe City’ project, meeting the targeted completion date of March 2024. The project focused on bolstering safety measures across the city through the strategic deployment of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and the establishment of safety islands at critical junctures.
The ‘Safe City’ initiative aimed to create a secure urban environment for residents and visitors alike, leveraging advanced technology and urban planning. One of the key components of the project involved installing a network of high-quality CCTVs across various areas in Bengaluru. These cameras are strategically placed to monitor public spaces, streets, and vital locations, ensuring comprehensive surveillance to enhance safety and security.
In addition to CCTVs, the project included the establishment of safety islands at key locations, providing pedestrians with a secure space to wait while crossing busy roads. These islands are equipped with safety features such as barricades, clear signage, and designated waiting areas, contributing to improved road safety.
The successful execution of the ‘Safe City’ project highlights the city’s commitment to utilizing technology and strategic urban planning to create a safer living environment. The deployment of advanced surveillance and safety infrastructure not only enhances public safety but also contributes to overall city development and efficiency.
The completion of the ‘Safe City’ project is expected to have a positive impact on traffic management, crime prevention, and emergency response, further reinforcing Bengaluru’s position as a forward-thinking and safety-conscious urban center.
