The Punjab government has completed installing 17,000 surveillance cameras across all 36 districts, fully integrating them into the central monitoring system at Punjab Safe Cities Authority headquarters.
Cameras deployed in 43 cities are now connected to the provincial command centre, supporting crime prevention, traffic management, public safety monitoring, and the e-challaning system throughout Punjab.
The project was initiated under former caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi and has been completed across all districts under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
Punjab Safe Cities Authority has announced a second phase covering 98 tehsils, with plans to install more than 10 million additional cameras at nearly 50 percent lower cost than previous phases.
The final phase will extend the surveillance network to the union council level, deepening security coverage across the grassroots administrative units in the province.
Authorities are also integrating private surveillance cameras into the Safe Cities network to broaden monitoring capacity and strengthen law enforcement capabilities province-wide.
