Indore, 27th Sept. In an effort to improve security in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, the Municipal Corporation in its first Mayor-in-Council has passed a resolution to install CCTV cameras throughout the city, Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava announced on Monday.

These cameras will be installed at the expense of affluent colonists, and those who do not comply with the order will face consequences.

Apart from this, the Municipal Corporation will install cameras in areas where residents are not financially secure.

In addition, the Mayor-in-Council approved a proposal to install a statue of Indore’s Lata Mangeshkar. This statue will be installed in the Gandhi Hall courtyard, close to Lata Mangeshkar’s former home.

Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava said, “In order to do surveillance through CCTV cameras in the city, the Municipal Corporation, using its power, passed a resolution, under which it has been decided to have CCTV cameras in the city.”

“CCTV cameras will be installed where 100 or more people gather. Its data will be stored for 30 days, which will be monitored from the office of Smart City. The use of this camera footage will be useful from the point of view of the law. For this, we have made by-laws,” he added.

He further stated, “in the residential colonies, where people are not able to install CCTV at their own cost, the Municipal Corporation will get the cameras installed. On the other hand, if it is a large colony, residential association or commercial area, then it will be the responsibility of the residents to get the cameras installed.”

A resolution has also been passed to install a statue of Indore native Lata Mangeshkar. The statue will be installed in Gandhi Hall’s courtyard garden, which is adjacent to Lata Mangeshkar’s old house in Sikh Mohalla.

The Indore residency area’s name is being changed to honor the 1857 Krantiveer Maharana Bakhtawar Singh. This region is now known as Maharana Bakhtawar Singh Kshetra.
