Thane: City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has prepared a code of conduct for CCTV monitoring in Navi Mumbai to keep a tab on troublemakers at public places vulnerable to crime.

With this, Navi Mumbai will become the first city in the country to have a code of practice for closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance system, CIDCO said in a release issued here. Besides, in view of the city's increasing population, about 500 surveillance cameras will be installed at railway stations, religious places, shops, malls, theatres, hotels, schools, hospitals, housing societies, industrial units, godowns, warehouses and other commercial as well as government buildings in CIDCO's jurisdiction, the release said. Currently, Navi Mumbai Police received video footages of about 250 cameras installed by the municipal corporation in its jurisdiction.
