The 241 containment zones in the city will soon be monitored via the city's Close Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) network. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also set up more CCTVs around them. To ensure effective monitoring, a video analytics system will also be used, so authorities will be able to take action after getting alerts from real-time visuals.

This system will immediately send a text message — SMS — to the police if a citizen is found trying to get out of the Containment Zone or someone tries to enter it. The monitoring report will also be sent regularly to the ward offices of the BMC.
