According to Cyberabad Police Commissioner CV Anand, increasing the security measures in the IT corridor was long awaited and after the abduction and gang-rape of a software employee by two cab-drivers in October this year, the government directed to step up security in the IT corridor. An electronic surveillance system will be enhanced with installation of another 150 CCTV cameras in addition to the existing 47.
Continuing with the efforts, police will regulate private transport (cabs and autos), enhance security with increased patrolling in the IT corridor and Outer Ring Round. An awareness campaign with focus on women's security will be launched very soon that will also have short films, he said. Apart from these security measures, Andhra Pradesh police also held meetings with representatives of different IT companies, which have decided to start their own call centers for security of their women employees by collecting data relating to cabs, drivers and IT staff while going out and entering the offices.
