ITANAGAR, Feb 9: Nearly two years after its selection as Smart City, Itanagar will be soon equipped with the Integrated Command & Control Center (ICCC) as its first project under Smart City.

The CCTVs are being installed in various crime prone locations after deliberate discussion with capital police. The CCTVs will confer live feeds 24x7 with supporting staff from various departments like Police, Medical, Fire & Emergency and others. 
‘If any anti-social activities are been detected or there is an apprehension of some kind of crime,  the control room will directly confer information to the nearest police station or patrolling team, it will help  the police in containing crime in the capital,' she asserted. 'Citizens are the eyes and ears of the state, so they can also share information related to any anti-social activities to the Integrated Command & Control Center so that the center can send related information to concern Police team on the ground,' stated the CEO while informing that ICCC is near complete and expected to be launched this Statehood Day.

Besides another important project, the mechanical parking system and modern streetlights in Itanagar is in the pipeline.
