Guwahati Citizens Propose Micro-CCTV Cameras on Streetlights to Curb Civic Violations

Guwahati: A group of concerned citizens has proposed installing micro-CCTV cameras on streetlight poles across the city to monitor littering, illegal garbage dumping, traffic violations and other civic offences. The proposal seeks to integrate the cameras with the existing Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) surveillance network.

The citizens have urged the Chief Minister to initiate a feasibility study and phased implementation plan. They also emphasised privacy protection, cybersecurity and proper verification before authorities take enforcement action against offenders.
