The ministers discussed the arrangements for the inaugural function, which will be attended by several VIPs.

About 9.22 lakh cameras installed across Telangana as part of the Safe City Project and community CCTV projects will be connected to the centre, with the police to be able to monitor and check around one lakh cameras at any point of time. A war room will be part of the building, which has been designed to house technology teams working in back-end operations to support field policing. It will also act as a Disaster and Crisis Management Centre housing all related government departments.

Separate space has been earmarked for artificial intelligence, data analytics and social media units along with other technology-driven initiatives introduced by the State Police.
