KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Thursday inaugurated two key projects, the Sindh Smart Surveillance System (S-4) and the Police Health Insurance Scheme, stating that the Safe City Project (S-4) will help restore law and order.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of S-4 and the Police Health Insurance Scheme at the CPO Karachi, Shah assured that safety measures for the Safe City project would be implemented seamlessly. He described S-4 as an excellent initiative that will effectively monitor all entry and exit points of the city using modern technology, aiding in crime reduction.
The chief minister approved Rs1.567 billion in funds for the purchase of camera systems from NRTC. He noted that modern cameras had been installed at 40 toll plazas in Sindh, including 18 in Karachi. A central control room and fusion system have been established at the CPO Data Centre for real-time alerts and monitoring.
Shah mentioned that the S-4 project would help apprehend over 80,000 fugitives.
It comprises two programmes: ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and FR (Facial Recognition). Advanced AI and analytical tools have been implemented for intelligence purposes, ensuring uninterrupted and smooth connectivity at each toll plaza.
