According to Kolkata Port Trust sources, the cameras, with a sweep radius of 50 km, will help to monitor the movement of vessels along the Hooghly,which separates the city from Howrah.

A control room, manned by the Central Industrial Security Force, will also be set up to track the movement of inland water traffic.
The surveillance system is proposed to ward off security threat and to step up vigil at entry points to the city. The security system is imported from Norway.
Closed-circuit television cameras have already been installed at the Howrah and Sealdah railway stations, two other major entry points to Kolkata.
