SRINAGAR: In a significant step towards modernizing urban management, Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL) launched the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) through its Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) located at HMT Zainakote. The system was inaugurated by Dr. Owais Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer of SSCL, with the aim of enhancing city governance through data-driven decision-making in daily operations and crisis response. 

The ICCC acts as a central hub, integrating applications and services across various departments and agencies. It provides critical infrastructure, including computing power, storage, networking, and security, to support Smart City projects with 24/7 operational capabilities.  Key features of the ICCC include a Data Centre, secure server farm offering 2PB storage, hybrid cloud capabilities, dedicated leased lines, and a NOVAC fire suppression system. 

Network Operations Centre, equipped with a video wall and workstations maintains continuous surveillance for optimal performance.  A computational system integrating applications offers secure access, work allocation and KPI monitoring.  Additional facilities include a convention centre, war room, multi-communications hub and robust power infrastructure with fail-safe provisions. 

The ITMS is a cutting-edge solution for improving traffic regulation and enforcement. Cameras have been strategically deployed at 66 key junctions in the city, monitored from the ICCC and the Office of the SSP, Traffic Police Srinagar.  Key features and benefits of ITMS Traffic Enforcement Red light violation detection (RLVD) are automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), helmet compliance, seat belt monitoring, and checks on speeding and wrong-way driving.

Under this advanced technology, a total of 1,052 cameras, including RLVD (249), ANPR (453), PTZ (101), and box cameras (249), provide comprehensive coverage. Enhanced Safety, introduction of an e-challan system, panic buttons and connectivity through SDNet are other important aspects.  Srinagar Smart City Limited remains committed to leveraging innovative technologies to create a safer, smarter, and more efficient urban environment, setting a benchmark for other cities in India.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
