Nagpur is on the brink of a surveillance revolution. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has given full green light to BSNL’s ambitious Crime Search Project, a high-tech, AI-driven, real-time crime monitoring system. But here’s the catch—implementation now hangs in the hands of the city police.
At a high-level meeting chaired by Additional Commissioner Vaishnavi B, NMC, BSNL, and Smart City officials locked in total infrastructure readiness. “We are 100% prepared. Everything is in place. This project is going to redefine how Nagpur tackles crime,” Vaishnavi told Lokmat Times.
The system—already successful in Pune and Nashik—will integrate hundreds of CCTV cameras, AI tools for facial recognition, predictive policing, and real-time alerts, all connected via BSNL’s secure, high-speed fiber-optic network. It promises 40% faster police response, instant offender identification, traffic violation tracking, and even GPS-linked police vehicles.
Three control centers—NMC HQ, Police HQ, and the Smart City ICCC—are ready to roll. But police need to act. Their decision will flip the switch on this game-changing network.
The Crime Search Project isn’t just CCTV—it’s a full-scale crime-fighting ecosystem with 99.99% uptime, military-grade encryption, 180-day cloud video storage, and multi-language alert systems. Drone and bodycam integration will further boost real-time situational awareness.
If the police delay, the city risks stalling a system that could protect over 25 lakh citizens and set a national benchmark in smart policing. Nagpur is ready. Now it’s time for the cops to step up.
