Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a significant new security infrastructure project in Assam's capital, marking a major upgrade for law enforcement in the region. On 29 December 2025, he unveiled the new building for the Guwahati Police Commissionerate and launched an advanced city surveillance network.
A Dual Inauguration for Enhanced Security
The event featured two key inaugurations aimed at modernizing policing in Guwahati. The primary focus was the new, state-of-the-art commissionerate building, which will serve as the central command hub for the city's police force. During the same function, Shah also formally activated the Intelligence City Surveillance System (ICSS), which is housed within the new building's premises.
Inside the Intelligence City Surveillance System (ICSS)
The ICSS represents a technological leap forward for urban security in Guwahati. This integrated system is designed to monitor city-wide activity through a network of cameras and data analytics platforms. Its installation inside the new police headquarters centralizes command and control, allowing for faster response times and more intelligent policing based on real-time information.
Significance for Assam's Capital
The inauguration of these facilities underscores the central government's focus on strengthening security and governance infrastructure in Northeastern India. The new commissionerate building provides Guwahati police with a modern workspace, while the ICSS equips them with cutting-edge tools to preempt and tackle crime. This move is expected to significantly improve public safety and law enforcement efficiency in one of India's key urban centers in the East.
The event, attended by senior officials, highlights the ongoing efforts to integrate advanced technology with policing, a cornerstone of the Union Home Ministry's strategy under Amit Shah's leadership.
