The source claims that at a recent meeting, CM Justice Baqar correctly emphasized the need for transparent resource utilization, stressing the need to rationalize rates, handle tax issues, and make sure the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC) provides accurate estimates to satisfy the authorities.
To ensure the project is cost-effective, a wise move has been taken with the formation of a technical committee headed by Home Secretary Iqbal Memon. The committee's task will be to evaluate equipment prices and compare them with market rates. The numerous examples of successful cities around the world that have adopted comparable security measures highlight their critical significance in lowering crime rates besides improving public safety. The project would also instil a sense of security among the masses.
