Maharastra's government will install face recognition cameras with AI to aid in rein Mumbai Street crimes. The project is part of the second phase of the Mumbai surveillance plan, according to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Minister Devendra Fadnavis was speaking on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the Mumbai terror attack.  

In the first phase, the state government installed CCTVs in Mumbai within one year. The step was part of implementing a suggestion in a report submitted to the government after the 26/11 terror attack. 

He stated that today Mumbai is a city that is free of fear. In the past eight years, no incident in Mumbai can be termed a terror attack. There has also been a heavy crackdown on organised crime on extortion. He called the 26/11 attack a ''wound that cannot be healed and a stain that cannot be erased. 

The Deputy CM stated that the governments at that time failed to implement the report's suggestions. "When I got the chance to be the CM, we started to implement suggestions such as bringing the city under CCTV surveillance, colour coding of boats for identification at sea, and the 'Sagar Kavach' drill for defence," he added.
