The Jayakwadi dam in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will be under the cover of more than 100 CCTV cameras along with watchtowers, a senior official said on Friday, reported the PTI.

The decision was taken following the police department's safety audit six months ago, the official told PTI.

Located on the Godavari River, the dam spreads 10 km in Paithan tehsil and is a key project in Marathwada, supplying water for agriculture and drinking water to Jalna and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
