15,000 people like Imran have been fined for not using masks in this city. Most of them were caught through CCTV. The surveillance system of Hyderabad city is now also being used to control the corona. Hyderabad is the largest technology hub in the country. Therefore, technology is also being used in full security in the city. 5 lakh CCTV cameras have been installed in the entire city, so it has become the city with the most surveillance in the country. At the same time, only five thousand CCTV cameras have been installed in Delhi, while Delhi has three times more people than Hyderabad.
The Hyderabad administration has said that this measure has helped a lot in keeping people safe during the epidemic. As of July, there were 80 thousand corona patients in the province, while 637 people died. According to Srinath Reddy, deputy superintendent of the IT department of the Telangana Police, an average of 20 people in the city are being surveyed with one camera, so that 95 percent can be ensured by masks. However, this surveillance is also being criticized on a large scale, as a citizen has seen 50 cameras on his way home.
