GANDHINAGAR, January 9. /TASS/. Russia offers India a ‘safe city’ hardware and software system designed by Russian specialists, along with other projects presented at Global Trade Show exhibition that opened in the Indian city of Gandhinagar on Monday, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told Russian reporters.

"One among these Russian inventions, I think that’s how it can be referred to, is a ‘safe city’ system giving a possibility to streamline all data coming from different cameras, sensors, sources of information, immediately process it and give the necessary feedback to all agencies responsible for the safety of citizens," said Rogozin after he saw Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi around the Russian exposition.

He said this system is a major step towards a "smart city" system, in which control will be organized over water supply, heating as well as housing and public utilities. "Today we have shown this system to Mr. Modi," he said.

The Vibrant Gujarat 2017 forum will be held in Gandhinagar (the capital city of Gujarat state) on January 10-13.
