Punjab Local Government Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Thursday (July 2) said the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation has set up a tech-enabled “Monsoon War Room” to monitor the city round the clock through 1,700 CCTV cameras and ensure prompt response to monsoon-related issues.
While inspecting the facility set up at Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) in MC Zone D, Sarabha Nagar, on Thursday, Bains said the war room streams live HD footage from flood-prone intersections, low-lying colonies and vulnerable drains onto video walls.
In a statement, Bains said the system would identify inundation within seconds and help map the spread of flooding, enabling teams to be deployed to exact locations and cutting response time from hours to minutes.
