The revelation has raised serious concerns over the effectiveness of the city\u2019s security monitoring system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ICCC, developed under the Smart City initiative, is intended to monitor key civic services such as traffic management, sanitation operations, and emergency response systems in real time from a centralized location. However, with more than half of the cameras currently non-functional, surveillance at several important junctions, roads, and public places has reportedly been affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his visit, Mayor Ravi Landge reviewed the CCTV surveillance network, traffic control system, and sanitation monitoring mechanisms. Officials informed him that a large number of cameras are temporarily non-operational due to maintenance work, repairs, or other technical reasons, raising questions about the efficiency of the system\u2019s upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussions were also held regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technological solutions to restore the non-functional cameras. The mayor directed officials to take immediate action to make the inactive cameras operational and strengthen the city\u2019s surveillance network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, citizens have begun questioning the Smart City initiative, pointing out that despite spending crores of rupees on installing thousands of cameras, a significant portion remains non-functional. Many have raised concerns over the lack of proper maintenance and accountability in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt is necessary that the non-functional CCTV cameras be repaired and made operational immediately.
