He added that Shah will also launch an Integrated Command and Control System (ICCS), aimed at strengthening the city’s security infrastructure.
Shah is scheduled to launch the projects on Monday during his visit to the state. According to Sarma, the ICCS will monitor more than 2,000 CCTV cameras across Guwahati, significantly enhancing security surveillance and emergency response mechanisms.

On December 29, Adarniya @AmitShah ji is set to inaugurate Guwahati’s new Police Commissionerate and an Integrated Command and Control Centre, which will monitor over 2,000 CCTVs to bolster security and emergency response systems,” the chief minister said in a post on X.
