The Tughlak Road area in Delhi is under surveillance ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit, with around 500 CCTV cameras to strengthen security arrangements.
Delhi Police Control Room officials watch the area from a series of surveillance cameras along major roads.
The CCTV deployment is part of the wider security measures being put in place for the high-profile international summit.
Senior leaders and foreign delegations are expected to travel through the capital and authorities are trying to monitor the road and movement corridors in real-time.
Constable Hukum Singh says that the surveillance network allows police personnel to see the entire route and respond quickly if there is any suspicious activity or security problem.
For CCTVs, the whole route is covered by CCTVs. And we can monitor and take action within seconds.
The extensive camera coverage will enable Delhi Police to keep track of traffic, public activity and security-sensitive places around the summit route.
The control room enables personnel to observe multiple locations at once, and as a result officials have the ability to coordinate their responses where they are required.
The preparation of security for international events in Delhi is generally coupled with several agencies and layers of security.
CCTV surveillance plays a central role in this system which offers authorities a constant view of strategic places without having to be present at every point of entry.
The 18th BRICS Summit has placed the national capital in the international spotlight and security is a top priority for authorities.
Hundreds of cameras have been deployed in the Tughlak Road area and the focus on technology-based surveillance is only to be highlighted with the preparation of Delhi for the event.

The live monitoring system can facilitate quick decision making during the movement of important dignitaries.
Police teams can monitor and take the appropriate actions on the route based on what is seen through the surveillance network.
The Delhi Police Control Room’s visuals help us see the technology being employed to secure the summit area.
With hundreds of cameras feeding information to monitoring teams, authorities are trying to keep the whole event under high vigilance.
CCTV is therefore an important component of the security infrastructure around the BRICS Summit and the preparations are well done in Delhi for the international gathering.
