The Morning Standard
|June 24, 2025
In a pioneering move towards technology-driven policing, the NTR district is all set to become the first district in Andhra Pradesh to achieve 100 percent CCTV camera coverage, with at least four cameras installed in every village.
This milestone comes under the leadership of NTR district Commissioner of Police (CP) SV Rajashekhar Babu, an Inspector General (IG) rank officer who assumed charge on July 14 last year.
Known for his commitment to tech-based policing, CP Rajashekhar Babu introduced a series of initiatives for the last one year including AsTram (AI-based traffic management system), e-Deployment (AI-based personnel deployment), Suraksha, drone surveillance, online attendance system for rowdy-sheeters, and more.
