The Sindh government has released Rs 4 billion for the initial phase of the long-awaited Karachi Safe City Project, according to details obtained by Headline PK.

This initiative is the cornerstone of the Sindh Safe City Authority and is slated for completion within two years.

Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar has instructed DG Sindh Safe City Authority Asif Aijaz Shaikh to prioritize the completion of the first phase.

This phase will see the installation of 1,300 CCTV cameras at 300 locations in the Red Zone and Airport Corridor. These cameras will feature Facial Recognition (FR) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities, supported by eight hours of solar backup.

The project also involves integrating a database of jail inmates’ photographs into the system, expected to be finalized within two and a half years. A Command-and-Control Building is under construction next to the Karachi Police Office.

Overall, the project will be executed in two phases, involving 12,000 new cameras and the upgrade of 2,000 existing ones.

The advanced system will enhance the monitoring of hospitals for criminals and suspects, enable multiple camera tracking and response, manage a comprehensive criminal database, and integrate with national and other criminal databases.
