“In 2025, the new budget will provide funding for the maintenance of 6,000 video cameras in locations with a high concentration of people, including Sergek hardware-software complex. The deployment of these cameras has resulted in a 17% reduction in traffic accidents in the city, along with a 40% decrease in the number of fatalities.
