As Nagaland strives to achieve its vision of a developed state by 2047, the need for effective surveillance systems has become increasingly imperative. The City Surveillance Implementation Project for Dimapur, Nagaland’s commercial and social hub, is a crucial step towards securing the region and driving economic growth.
The Business Association of Nagas (BAN), in collaboration with the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Dimapur, and the Commissioner of Police, Dimapur, recently organized a symposium on surveillance implementation under the theme ‘Securing Dimapur: A Joint Endeavour’ at Rhododendron Hall, Police Complex, Chümoukedima. The event aimed to bring together key stakeholders to discuss the implementation of AI-powered number plate cameras, which are set to aid the Nagaland Police in maintaining law and order.
The symposium saw the adoption of the City Surveillance Implementation Project for Dimapur, which will be implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. This innovative approach will enable shared investment, operational efficiency, risk mitigation, local job creation, technological agility, and scalability across the state. The project will also establish a multi-stakeholder task force to define technical standards, governance, and financing. Moreover, legal and ethical safeguards, including data privacy, encryption, and audits, will be implemented to ensure the secure and responsible use of surveillance technology.
The Nagaland Police have already approached several departments for support, and the Chief Minister of Nagaland has extended full support for the initiative. Dialogues are underway with public sector undertakings, financial institutions, and other stakeholders, and the responses so far have been positive. The project’s success will not only enhance public safety but also boost economic growth and development in the region.
In conclusion, the City Surveillance Implementation Project for Dimapur marks a significant step towards achieving Nagaland’s vision of a developed state by 2047. By adopting cutting-edge surveillance technology and implementing effective legal and ethical safeguards, Nagaland can create a safer and more prosperous environment for its citizens. As Dimapur leads the way, it is crucial that other regions in Nagaland follow suit and work towards creating a surveillance-powered future that benefits the entire state.
