The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) standing committee has rejected a proposal worth ₹7.09 crore (approximately $850,000 USD) aimed at upgrading the video walls in its disaster management control room located at the BMC headquarters and an alternate site in Parel, Mumbai. The committee raised concerns regarding the quality of work from the recommended contractor, M/s Star Electric, which is blacklisted. The contractor's bid was 22.5% lower than the BMC's estimate of ₹7.51 crore, leading to skepticism about the quality of services that could be provided at such a low cost. The existing video walls, operational since 2016, have deteriorated, affecting their performance in displaying live feeds from the city’s extensive network of over 9,700 CCTV cameras. Currently, the system can only show feeds from about 50 to 60 cameras at any time and lacks integration with crucial data sources such as the Indian Meteorological Department. The committee has instructed the BMC administration to prepare a revised proposal for the project.
