Govt To Formulate IT Act, May Declare 2011 As Digital Delhi Year

In a bid to make Delhi a digital Capital, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday instructed the Information Technology Department to continue its innovative projects to ensure e-enabled services in the national Capital. 

She also gave a green signal to a proposal relating to finalisation of IT Act of Delhi to enable the department to function as a Nodal Agency and bring uniformity and coordination in IT-related projects being implemented by various departments and other Government agencies. The Delhi Government is also considering declaring 2011 as `Digital Delhi Year'.

According to sources, IT Department has informed that various Delhi Government departments are not interested to take help from 3D Geospatial Mapping. The Geospatial mapping relates to keeping a close eye on entire Delhi with installation of more than 50 mega cameras on rooftop of multi-storeyed buildings. The cameras will have a range of 5 kms to capture everything what is going to happen under the sky. 

It may capture all such activities which may deserve immediate action by the authorities to curb crimes, unauthorised constructions, disruptive activities including terrorist attacks and natural disasters which call for immediate response including relief and rehabilitation etc. The input provided by the mega cameras will be of much use to the police, Revenue Department, Disaster Management Authority, Delhi Fire Service, and broadcasters.
