Hyderabad
The interior of the Police Stations is coming under full camera coverage with Supreme Court orders. It will have surveillance cameras in the station SHO, DI, AI, sub-inspectors, lockups, and record rooms. Steps are being taken to have nineteen cameras in each police station. Fifteen cameras are mounted on the inside and the rest on the outside.
CCTV cameras can be very useful in providing more transparent services to the people in police stations. With transparency, there will be an assurance for the victims and a positive message that tough measures will be taken to punish the perpetrators. There will be no chance of corruption and compromises in Police Stations with these measures.
There will be no instances of police refusing to register FIRs or behaving inappropriately with the complainants. Out of the sixty-four police stations in the city, the cameras were up and running in thirty-five. The rest will have them very soon. This will be a crucial step for the maintenance of law and order in the city if the CCTV cameras are effectively managed. It will improve the image of Hyderabad as a Global and safe city.
