Description

وجاء في بيان صادر عن الوزارة تلقت شبكة رووداو الإعلامية نسخة منه الجمعة، 18 آذار، 2022، انه "بالتزامن مع زيارة النصف من شعبان ذكرى مولد الإمام المهدي (ع) افتتح وزير الداخلية عثمان الغانمي منظومة كاميرات المراقبة الأمنية في محافظة كربلاء. 1

وبخصوص الإجراءات المنفذة لتأمين حدود المحافظة أوضح قائد شرطة كربلاء اللواء أحمد زويني إن "التأمين يتم بانتشار القوات الأمنية وأيضاً بالاستعانة بالكاميرات الحرارية والتي يبلغ عددها 20 وهي متطورة جداً". وتابع إنه "كان لتلك الكاميرات دور كبير في إلقاء القبض على الكثير من المطلوبين بسبب المواصفات التي تتميز بها وخاصة التعرف على الوجوه". 2
