Under the Safe City Project, the government has planned to install over 2,000 high-resolution security cameras in Rawalpindi across 359 locations. With claims made by the government about the usefulness of such cameras for monitoring traffic, public spaces and real-time incident reporting, the Safe City Project was started in Punjab to boost public safety. So far, 1,700 cameras have been installed in the city in market places, major road crossings and entry and exit points of Rawalpindi.
