The state government has decided to install 500 CCTV cameras in over 480 containment zones in the city and officers of Kolkata Police will keep a watch from the Control Room at Kolkata Police headquarters in Lalbazar, he said. "The containment zones in the city have gone up and at the moment it is over 480. The number of such zones in the city has gone up after the state has tweaked the conditions to earmark an area as "containment' zone. The CCTV cameras will also help the Kolkata Police officers to scrutinise the 'buffer zones' adjacent to these affected areas. A containment zone is called "affected area" in West Bengal and the roads around it are "buffer zones".
