LUCKNOW: The city can hope for a prompt, 'smarter' response to a range of violations—from haphazard parking that affects the daily life of common citizens, to serious law and order problems like rioting— with CM Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday dedicating the Rs 44 crore surveillance project 'Drishthi' to Lucknow police.

"Maintaining public order, crime control and traffic management on streets would be the key focus of this project. I feel that presence of cameras will gradually bring about a positive change among people," said the chief minister, hinting at behavourial changes and improved civic sense that extensive use of virtual cover often results in.
