The project will be executed on public-private partnership (PPP) mode," State Finance Minister Dayanand Narvekar said.     

He said that the project will help government departments like Police, Excise and Sales Tax to keep a check on the vehicles.     

"With these cameras being installed on major spots, entire vehicle moment can be tracked," Narvekar said. Once the project materialises, Goa will be the first state to have such kind of facility which will help the investigating authorties in their job.     

 

Narvekar said that in the past police faced difficulty to detect movement of the vehicle involved in crime. "These camera will capture movement of every vehicle on the road," the finance minister said.     

The State government feels that Police, Excise and related departments by using this facility can be charged to make the model run on PPP basis. "This concept is prevailing internationally," Arvekar said.
