In response to the growing influx of Lord Ram devotees into Ayodhya, the Yogi Adityanath government is fortifying the city with advanced high-tech security measures.
The comprehensive security plan includes placing Ayodhya under extensive CCTV surveillance, ensuring both the safety of pilgrims and the maintenance of cleanliness.
This system also allows authorities to monitor suspects from the Command and Control Centre while also keeping an eye on the basic amenities provided by the municipal corporation at intersections and streets.
The Yogi Adityanath government has already linked CCTV cameras installed outside homes, businesses, hotels, and offices to the control room in Amaniganj.
Following the installation of Ram Lalla idol in the Ayodhya temple, there has been a significant surge in the number of devotees visiting from across the country and abroad.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has emphasised that Ayodhya should be adorned and beautified in a way that inspires every visitor to return repeatedly.
In line with this vision, the municipal corporation has taken a major initiative under the ‘Safe City’ project. The municipal corporation teams are actively encouraging local residents and traders to link their cameras to the monitoring room of the Command and Control Centre.
Under the ‘Safe City’ project, the responsibility for implementing the city’s security and monitoring systems has been assigned to Allied Digital Services Limited, with the project valued at Rs 8.49 crore.
As part of this initiative, roadside cameras have been connected to the server at the ITMS office in Jalkal. A total of 312 locations were identified for this project, and 1,324 CCTV cameras have been connected.
These cameras will enable comprehensive monitoring from the control room, not only ensuring cleanliness but also overseeing other essential services.
The municipal corporation employees will be stationed in the control room to relay information about the city’s sanitation, water leakage, and streetlight issues to relevant departments. Upon receiving alerts, the municipal corporation personnel will promptly address and resolve the issues on-site.
The cameras being installed are expected to significantly enhance security in Ayodhya. These cameras will enable continuous monitoring of incidents across the city, providing valuable support to law enforcement in investigating and resolving cases. The project is also viewed as highly effective in ensuring the safety of the increasing number of devotees visiting Ayodhya.
