Protesters, rallies, and violent demonstrators will no longer be able to escape the “eye of the camera”, as officials announced the launch of new surveillance software in the city, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Wednesday.
According to authorities, whenever a group of protesters gathers on any city road, the cameras will immediately detect and identify the activity.
As per the official announcement, the system has also been upgraded to highlight gatherings of vehicles and motorcycles beyond a specific limit.
With the help of cameras, the new software will be able to identify protesters, weapons, sticks, and even party flags.
Officials confirmed that the number of flags will also be recorded, and protesters with criminal records will be specially marked.
As soon as a gathering is detected, an instant alert will be generated through the cameras and sent directly to the concerned police units.
Authorities added that the newly launched software will greatly assist law enforcement in monitoring protests, rallies, and demonstrations in real time.
