Unsafe city project

Letter March 10, 2018
300 surveillance cameras in the capital city are out of order

KARACHI: Not quite long ago, the Punjab government and the authorities of the federal capital took pride in the launch of their much-talked about Safe City Project for Lahore and Islamabad. However, two years down the line, the situation of this project is no different from any other government-run programme that eventually fails to achieve their goals.

At present, 300 surveillance cameras in the capital city are out of order. The project aimed at improving law and order in the city, costing billions, is now almost purposeless. The needful should be done immediately.
