Uttarakhand: ₹33 Lakh AI Camera Project to Boost Traffic Monitoring.
Uk positive news: Monitoring in the district’s tourist towns, including Nainital, Bhimtal and Bhowali, will be strengthened through AI-based ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras, Commissioner Deepak Rawat said.
He stated that under a Smart City project, surveillance equipped with ANPR cameras will be set up on major routes and tourist locations with an allocation of ₹33 lakh by the Development Authority. The system will help control vehicle speed, improve parking management and assist in crime control.
Scientific data on the number of vehicles entering and leaving the city will be available at the data center and can also be monitored through mobile devices.
The Commissioner said the ANPR camera currently operating in Nainital can also be used to monitor toll collection by the municipal body and verify whether toll tax is being collected properly.
He directed police officials to install a camera near the gate of Kainchi Dham before the June 15, 2026 fair. With the help of this camera, the number of devotees visiting the temple can be assessed accurately. Funds for the installation were allocated during the meeting itself.
During a meeting held Friday at the Haldwani camp office, police officials gave a data presentation on vehicle monitoring through cameras in Nainital, Bhowali and Kainchi Dham. Data from the past 24 hours showed movement of 3,958 vehicles from Haldwani to Nainital, 1,577 from Nainital to Haldwani, 2,540 from Bhowali to Nainital and 2,323 from Nainital to Bhowali.
ASP R.D. Mathpal and other police officials were present on the occasion.
