LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Jun, 2026) Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has equipped the police force with modern digital gadgets and advanced surveillance technology to further strengthen security arrangements during Muharram.

According to spokesperson, new features had been introduced in PSCA’s advanced LTE Smart Communication System, enabling LTE handsets used by field personnel to function as a “Mobile Command and Control Center” during Muharram.

Police officers deployed in the field would be able to access real-time live feeds from Safe City cameras directly on their LTE handsets. Officers deployed at processions and Majalis would also remain updated about the live situation of other processions, congregations, and sensitive locations in their respective areas. Live surveillance feeds from Safe City and 4g cameras would also be available directly on LTE handsets.

The spokesperson further said that key updates and real-time alerts from the Muharram Procession Monitoring System would be received directly on officers’ LTE handsets. Critical information including flash points, procession routes, and head and tail positions under the Safe City digital surveillance model would also be available on these devices, enabling more effective command, control, and rapid response in the field.
