Through this camera, seniors can see sub engineer or contractor is there on the site or not. There is face reading system installed in the cameras through which, seniors will get alerts if sub engineers or contractors failed to visit once in a day on the site."
Engineer also said " On pilot basis such cameras are installed on the Barrister Rajani Patel road which is out side Trident hotel and goes towards Vidhan Bhavan. Link of these cameras will also be given to Disaster management control room so they can monitor flooding and high tide."
During monsoon BMC doesnt undertake construction of roads. Therefore, tender process will be implemented after October 1st.

We are planing to set up camera on every site, still proposal has not been approved it is under consideration.
