Kolkata, Jan 9 (UNI) In order to ensure the safety and security of the lakhs of pilgrims who turn up at the Ganga Sagar Mela on Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas district on the occasion of Makar Sankranti every year, the district administration has decided to introduce a real-time monitoring system using surveillance cameras.
In 2018, pilgrims are expected to start going to Ganga Sagar from January 10 onwards.
Using this system, all senior administrative and police officers will be able to watch live footages of all the transit and other crucial points on their mobile phones. This will ensure that officers get better in crowd management.
