BACKGROUND

All Southern Thromdes has witnessed unprecedented progress and development in the recent years. The transformation from a small to a bigger metropolis with an increasing population inclusive of floating population from the neighboring country is a matter of concern to the Law Enforcement agency. The influx of the rapid socio-economic development in Southern Thromdes is marked with increased crime rates and complexities of crimes. As of 2016 Southern Thromdes alone contributes to over 11.41 % of the total crime (2445 cases) in the country. Southern Thromdes has all the amenities as a modern city and a commercial hub including varying categories of entertainment centers making it vulnerable to increased crime particularly vandalism, thefts, gang fights, kidnapping, drugs and psychotropic abuse and illegal drug trafficking etc leading to social insecurity among the citizens. With the change in social environment, situations have been demanding presence of police at every nook and corner thereby increasing the number of visible police in the city, which depicts perilous and unfriendly social environment.

On the other hand, there has been an exponential rise in number of vehicles since the arrival of first motor vehicle in the country in the early 1960s. As of 31st January 2017, Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 84,891 vehicles in the country, out of which 39,864 (46.97 %) are registered in Southern Thromdes which includes 30,279 (35.66%) vehicles are registered in Phuentsholing, 4,938 (5.81%) vehicles are registered Gelephug and 4,650 (5.47%) vehicles are registered in Samdrupjongkhar. Subsequently, increased number of vehicles has led to the increase in traffic violation, traffic congestion and motor vehicle accidents leading to the immense difficulty in regulating traffic. Without an alternative, the problem would exacerbate and render it near impossible to monitor and regulate the traffic in the city. The detailing traffic personnel in every junction and corner proves to be unreasonable and unrealistic thereby demanding for a move towards a technology driven paradigm. For the 11th FYP, RBP is tasked to develop safe society through reduction of crime, which can only be achieved, with the help of modern technologies such as installation of CCTV cameras in the core city areas.

The installation of CCTV cameras in Southern Thromdes should not only reduce crime and the traffic violations but also to monitor other incidences in the city dynamically and intelligently.

RATIONALE

1.  Southern Thromdes contributes to more than 11.41 % of the total crime in the country with increasing trend every year. Reduction of crime in Southern Thromdes will bring down the overall crime in the country eventually contributing towards the achievement of the 11th Five Year Plan objective of creating a safe and secured society.

2.  Southern Thromdes as the main bordering town is small in size where people are familiar or know each other very well with their counter parts. Owing to this, people develop close affinity amongst each other. Thus, there is a natural tendency to be lenient with the enforcement of law, which ultimately leads to corruption in the society. The installation of surveillance cameras will lessen the physical contact between police personnel and the people thereby reducing the risk of corruption in the law enforcement agency and amongst the public.

3.  Bhutan strives to achieve Gross National Happiness as a development goal and cannot have more visible police patrol and presence in the city as people may presume that Southern Thromdes city is unsafe to live. The installation of CCTV cameras in the city will reduce the manpower, both traffic and normal police personnel and the surplus manpower can be deployed meaningfully in the other important areas.

OBJECTIVES

The long-term objective of this project is to develop a smart and intelligent digital policing system aimed towards the achievement of the mission of the Royal Government of Bhutan. The overall objectives of the Safe City Solution Project are:

a.  To reduce crime in the society by creating the sense of deterrence.

b.  To enhance crime detection through video footages.

c.  To reduce manpower deployment in the city.

d.  To systematize the traffic management system in the city.

e.  To encourage public to be law abiding citizens.

f.  To reduce waste management, monitor illegal construction and safeguard urban infrastructure areas.

DESIGN

The project is designed to achieve the objectives of developing a safe city through reduction of crime in the Southern Thromdes city. It is aimed towards creating a safe and secures society targeted towards the goal of achieving Gross National Happiness. The system should be designed with the provisions for up-gradation and integration with other systems such as Road Safety and Transport Authority’s eRaLIS (Electronic Registration and Licensing System).The system is required to be dynamic, intelligent and smart to capture any incidence. The system should also cater future expansion scope.

The Safe City Solution Project Components
