Explanation:

The Himachal Pradesh Police have won the National e-Governance Silver award for their ‘Third Eye’, evidence-based policing with CCTV surveillance matrix in the industrial hub of Baddi.

As many as 2,038 CCTV cameras were installed in the Baddi police district with 1,845, worth Rs 2.45 crore, being provided under private public partnership (PPP) mode since 2019. The funds secured under the PPP mode also helped in the renovation of the cyber lab facilitating setting up of a CCTV footage analysis lab and geo-tagging of CCTV cameras versus crime, which helped in effectively solving several cases.
