Punjab to Deploy 10,000 AI Cameras Across 98 Tehsils and Union Councils in Massive Safe City Expansion
LAHORE: In a transformative leap toward tech-driven governance and public safety, Punjab has embarked on its most ambitious digital policing initiative yet, deploying over 10,000 artificial intelligence-enabled cameras across 98 tehsils and extending modern surveillance coverage directly into thousands of Union Councils.
The landmark project, formalized under an agreement between the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) and the National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), marks the transition of smart security from major provincial hubs into grassroots towns and rural communities. Spearheaded under the directives of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the rollout is targeted for complete operational delivery by December 31, 2026.
For years, high-tech command systems were largely confined to metropolitan centres like Lahore. The new initiative eliminates that divide by taking digital protection to the doorsteps of everyday citizens across 98 tehsils and integrating local neighborhood grids across Punjab’s 7,602 Union Councils. By covering village entry points, link roads, local markets, and residential mohallas, the project ensures every sub-division shares the same robust safety standards as the capital.
Equipped with automated facial recognition, weapon detection, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), the network routes sub-divisional feeds directly into regional control hubs and the provincial Integrated Command, Control & Communication (IC3) center. This architecture enables the Emergency 15 helpline to instantly match incoming calls with live camera visualisations, dispatching rapid-response units—including the Dolphin Squad and local beat officers—with verified suspect routes and exact coordinates.
The dividends of the Safe City model are already visible in operational districts, where police figures indicate a dramatic drop in street snatchings, armed dacoities, and vehicle thefts. Beyond intercepting criminal elements, the infrastructure reinforces critical civic safeguards, linking directly with the Virtual Women Police Station, Child Safety Centres, and automated traffic management systems.
By extending high-definition, AI-powered surveillance from tehsil arteries down to local Union Councils, Punjab is cementing a unified protective shield across the province—fostering business confidence, safeguarding communities, and setting a progressive benchmark for modern, citizen-centric policing.
