Hubballi: In a major security boost ahead of the Ganesha festival, the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) has decided to provide 400 CCTV cameras and related surveillance equipment on a rental basis across its limits, following a request from the Hubballi-Dharwad Police Commissionerate. The move comes after the commissioner of police sought the installation of 400 CCTV cameras in Hubballi-Dharwad to strengthen security arrangements during the festival. The tender will be opened on Aug 11, and the estimated project cost is around Rs 13 lakh, he added.
HDMC commissioner Rudresh Ghali said the installation would be carried out according to the prescribed specifications, enabling police to monitor live feeds through the network-supported system. Acting on the request, HDMC has floated a tender inviting interested agencies to supply and install the cameras. Police personnel will be able to access live footage through the SIM-enabled network connectivity. The tender aims to identify vendors capable of supplying and installing the required cameras and associated equipment on a rental basis within municipal limits. The initiative is part of the enhanced security measures sought by the police for Ganesha celebrations.
