The smart car has been designed and developed by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police in collaboration with a Chinese company Huawei to further outreach of the Safe City Project.
The much-delayed Islamabad Safe City Project costing the national exchequer $125 million or over Rs13 billion, was inaugurated on June 6th.
The project aims at making the capital “free of crime”.
Under the project, over 1,900 surveillance cameras have been installed across the city with a command and control centre set up in H-11 to monitor important buildings, entry and exit points, roads, commercial centres and a sizable portion of residential areas.
“Although a huge amount has been spent on the project, I will only be satisfied when the crime rate is brought to zero level,” the interior minister has said back then.
