Security apparatus is being ramped up at the Mysuru railway station with the installation of IP-based Video Surveillance System (VSS) through Rail Tel, giving a major boost to safety and security of passengers, especially women and children. This is part of a nationwide project being taken by the Indian Railways and will cover major railway stations across the country. The work is in progress at Gadag and Vijayapura apart from Mysuru. Under SWR, the project has been installed at Shivamogga, Hassan, Davanagere, Bangarpet, Kengeri, Bengaluru Cantonment, Satya Sai Prashanti Nilayam, Hubballi, Vasco da Gama, Hosapete, Belagavi and Ballari stations. According to authorities in the South Western Railways, the project covers A1, A, B, C, D and E category railway stations. Indian Railways signed a MoU with RailTel in June last year for installation of CCTV at stations. But a revised tender was floated in May 2021 after revision of specifications to address national security concerns and promote domestic manufacturing.More Related News
