Close to 100 CCTVs will help security personnel keep a hawk-eyed vigil on the eight kilometre stretch between Rajpath and Red Fort in the run up to the Republic Day celebrations when India showcases its military might and cultural diversity. According to a senior police official, 90 CCTVs will be installed from tomorrow on the route of the Republic Day parade to ensure that no suspicious movement goes unnoticed.
"All cameras except 14 to be installed in Central District will have pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) and day/night colour zoom lens. The system will have a digital video recorder as well," the official said.
Eighteen CCTVs will be installed on Rajpath from where President Pratibha Patil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh along with other dignitaries, including chief guest Indonesian President S B Yudhoyono will watch the parade which provides a kaleidoscopic view of the country's "unity in diversity".
