KARACHI: In order to improve security, safety and quality of life in the provincial capital, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has decided to gear up implementation of safe city project, which includes installation of 10,000 cameras in Karachi. He took this decision while presiding over a high-level meeting on law and order at CM House on Saturday. The chief minister said that the city could be made safer if the ‘safe city project’ was implemented at the earliest. The safe city project was conceived in 2011 under which it was planned to install high powered 10,000 CCTV cameras in the city in the first phase. The chief minister had approved Rs10 billion for the purpose but the project cost was said to be escalated to around Rs20.
