“The purpose behind the installation of CCTV cameras in each village is to track land mafia and liquor and also control their activities.
This technology device will also assist in the prevention of atrocities against women in the countryside,” Chaudhary said, adding that CCTV cameras will be installed at 50 Nodal points in each village.
Similarly, street lights will also include most villages.
He spoke with the media to the state BJP headquarters as part of the Sahyog Party program.
The state has more than 8,000 pancires and around 48,000 villages.
He said the supervision of technology from each village would be carried out as part of the move to have smart villages in the state.
Chaudhary said the installation of CCTV cameras and street lights in each village will begin after the completion of the ongoing Panchayat election, whose results will come out on December 14.
After the results, Gazette notifications will be made, followed by a formal constitution.
