Alliance partners Renault and Nissan have inaugurated a comprehensive surveillance camera project to improve road safety around its plant - Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd (RNAIPL), near Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

According to the press release from Nissan, the project will see 110 cameras installed around the Oragadam corridor, 48 of which are sponsored by the Alliance partners.

The Oragadam manufacturing corridor has more than 50 companies and 12 villages along its route, making it frequently used by workers and villagers despite its previous lack of safety infrastructure, the release added.

The project is conducted with the support of Sevalaya. It was inaugurated by M Sudhakar, SP, Kanchipuram District, in the presence of S Sunil, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sriperumbudur, Biju Balendran, MD & CEO, RNAIPL and Rajasekara Bhatt, GM-PLE & RNAIPL Safety vertical head and CSR committee members and attended by RNAIPL employees, the release added.

The company said that the initiative is part of the plant’s wider rural development programme, including waste reduction and recycling, water table management and environmental and habitat protection.

Furthermore, the cameras and new signalling and other road infrastructure will help control traffic congestion, lower crime rates, and reduce traffic accidents, the release added.

Sinan Ozkok, President, Nissan India Operations, said, “The road infrastructure we are putting in place with our partners will warn people about accident-prone zones, organise traffic and control the overall crime and hazard rates. With continuous monitoring and maintenance, we are confident this project will deliver great benefits to RNAIPL workers, employees of other companies and members of the public.”

Biju Balendran said, “The infrastructure project directly addresses a range of serious issues from crime to traffic, to accident safety, in order to make the village corridor more holistically secure for everyone.”
