While the Safe City Projects for Lahore and Islamabad have already been completed, the plan has not even been started in Peshawar that needs it more than any other city in the country.

IK has been dealing with these thugs for decades. he knows them inside out. But he is not an investigative journalist. The fact that our depts. never work without pressure and historically no senior representative has been ever caught on corruption speaks a lot about our system. Everyone should stand with IK to ensure our system in Pakistan should perform its duties honestly and transperantly
In order to ensure security of the masses and help resolve traffic woes, the initiative by the Punjab government to introduce Punjab Safe City Project is welcoming. The move calls for applause as the project will not only take the security to the next level but will also help stop the violation of traffic rules and regulations.
Under this project, round the clock monitoring will be conducted through control and command centre and will bring Lahore at par with the big cities of the developed world. It is hoped that the project, if implemented in true letter and spirit, would help ease traffic flows and enhance the security of masses and would result in improved law and order situation in the Provincial metropolis.

Punjab Safe City Project inaugurated
LAHORE: Some 8,000 surveillance cameras, costing Rs12 billion, will watch over the city under the phased Punjab Safe City Project.
This was stated by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Tuesday at the inauguration of the Punjab Safe City Project.
He said the project would turn the city crime-free and peaceful. The Punjab government undertook the landmark project in collaboration with leading Chinese company Huawei.
8,000 surveillance cameras to watch over Lahore
He, citing figures of cameras for Islamabad, said Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had increased the number of cameras of Islamabad Safe City Project from 1,500 to 2,000 whereas Lahore would get 8,000.
He spoke of his efforts to make it cost efficient, saying he had convinced the lowest bidding company to bring down the cost from Rs16 billion to Rs12 billion. The Islamabad Safe City Project, four times smaller from Lahore, was signed for Rs12 billion six years ago, he added.
The chief minister said a huge screen had been installed in the command and control centre which was the biggest screen of Asia. He hoped that the Chinese company would operate this project as an example of hard work, honesty and transparency.
He said those leveling allegations of corruption should also remember transparency in this project and the saving of Rs4 billion of national resources. A prominent international institution like the World Economic Forum had acknowledged the examples of transparency set by federal and Punjab governments, he said.
He said recruitment for the project had been made on merit and those recruited would testify to the merit criteria.
He said that monitoring of different areas was being carried out on the screens set up at the center and a vigilant eye would be kept on criminal elements. He said in case of any incident of crime, an alarm would ring which would alert the institutions concerned.
Mr Sharif said the project would make Pakistan a safer, peaceful and prosperous country. He paid tribute to armed forces, police and the people for rendering supreme sacrifices in the war against terrorism and extremism, saying the project would play an important role in dealing with terrorism.
He said the similar projects would also be launched in Multan, Bahawalpur, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Sargodha and completed by the end of 2017.
He said that the first phase of Punjab Safe City Project had been completed in Lahore while its other phases be completed by mid of next year.
The chief minister said Chinese Consul General Yu Boren had extended cooperation in the project, also linked with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
