We have also strengthened our surveillance system with a total of four Prahari vehicles operating 24×7. Violations will be recorded through GPS-enabled dash cameras. People should not assume that they can dump waste and get away without being noticed.
The Prahari fleet will have 24 personnel, including drivers and marshals, deployed for its operations. The Corporation’s Control Room and senior officials will track the GPS location, movement and operations of all four vehicles through an app-based Remote Access system. Photographs, videos and GPS data will be reviewed daily by the Control Room and IT team, with officials monitoring violations and the action taken.
