Speaking to TNIE, GCC Commissioner J Kumaragurubaran said on a pilot basis, they will focus on five zones - Tondiarpet, Royapuram, Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar, Ambattur and Anna Nagar. “In each ward in these zones, we plan to install AI-enabled cameras at three or four locations. The complaints we get from most people are that the corporation is not properly clearing the bins and that there are insufficient bins in the city, resulting in overflowing of wastes,” he said.
