"The Ministry of Home Affairs will focus on establishing a new security architecture by creating a nationwide network of CCTV cameras and control rooms to combat narcotics, and by providing it with proper legal backing in the coming period," Shah said during a programme to mark the 79th Foundation Day of Delhi Police in the national capital.The vast network of nationwide CCTV cameras and control rooms aims to strengthen the ears and eyes of the country's security agencies, as it is expected to provide real-time monitoring across states, boosting interagency responses to crimes all over India. Besides the planned countrywide CCTV framework, Shah revealed that modernising border security mechanisms were also lined up. "This will include upgrading surveillance systems, strengthening fencing and infrastructure, deploying advanced technology, and enhancing coordination among border guarding forces to effectively curb infiltration and cross-border threats," the minister underscored.

India Plans Modernisation of Border Security Arrangements
India is planning to install Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras across the length and breadth of the country in a bid to tackle the trafficking of drugs, Federal Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Monday.
"The Ministry of Home Affairs will focus on establishing a new security architecture by creating a nationwide network of CCTV cameras and control rooms to combat narcotics, and by providing it with proper legal backing in the coming period," Shah said during a programme to mark the 79th Foundation Day of Delhi Police in the national capital.
The vast network of nationwide CCTV cameras and control rooms aims to strengthen the ears and eyes of the country's security agencies, as it is expected to provide real-time monitoring across states, boosting interagency responses to crimes all over India.
Besides the planned countrywide CCTV framework, Shah revealed that
modernising border security mechanisms were also lined up.
"This will include upgrading surveillance systems, strengthening fencing and infrastructure, deploying advanced technology, and enhancing coordination among border guarding forces to effectively curb infiltration and cross-border threats," the minister underscored.
