Punjab director general of police Gaurav Yadav inaugurated the renovated integrated command and control centre of the Bathinda police on Wednesday. Built at Rs 2.75 crore, the facility merges 112 emergency response, city-wide CCTV surveillance with 282 cameras at 59 locations, wireless connectivity, video analytics, and real-time crime data, Hindustan Times reports.

Yadav was in Bathinda to review Independence Day security preparations. He also held meetings with officials of the Ferozepur and Faridkot police ranges and personally checked a police checkpoint at Talwandi Bhai. He directed officers to step up patrolling and ensure swift response to any security challenge.
Claims that a single tech centre will fix urban policing ignore the human factor. The Rs 2.75 crore facility adds 282 cameras and analytics, but tough foot patrols still decide public safety. The real test will come when analysts measure whether the centre slashes emergency response times, not just how many feeds are streamed.
