In a bid to improve surveillance systems, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) will install facial recognition cameras at three Metro stations in the city, said officials on Monday.
The officials said that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has given permission for installing facial recognition cameras at Sikanderpur and MG Road Metro stations, and talks are underway to receive permission for installing cameras at Huda City Centre station.
“By February end, we will install facial recognition cameras at Sikanderpur Metro Station and MG Road Metro station with all permissions in place. Eight such cameras will be installed at these two metro stations. At Huda City Centre station, initially two cameras will be installed and we will increase the numbers later on. With both facial recognition cameras and other CCTV cameras in the city, crime and traffic surveillance will improve further,” said a senior official from the smart city division of GMDA.
