Police, Not Aap Govt Will Control Cctvs In The Capital, Recommends L-G Panel indianexpress.com

The Delhi Police will be the custodian of all CCTV cameras in public spaces in the capital, including ones to be installed under AAP government’s CCTV project, a committee formed by L-G Anil Baijal has recommended. The Delhi Police will be the custodian of all CCTV cameras in public spaces in the capital, including ones to be installed under AAP government’s CCTV project, a committee formed by L-G Anil Baijal has recommended. If notified, Delhi will become the first city with a set of rules governing CCTVs in public spaces.
The committee and its recommendations are likely to deepen the confrontation between Baijal and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who Friday continued to spar over varying readings of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Wednesday on who runs Delhi.
The ‘Delhi Rules for Regulation of CCTV Camera Systems in NCT of Delhi, 2018’, drafted by a committee chaired by Principal Secretary (Home) Manoj Parida, was submitted to Baijal last week. The rules are proposed to be issued after getting feedback from stakeholders and people under the Delhi Police Act, 1978.
