Can CCTV Cameras bring security to Delhi?
Perhaps if you get to know the reality of the CCTV cameras that you have installed for your security, then your sleep will really be lost. Do you know how many CCTV cameras are installed in the whole country and how many of them are Chinese? believe me, you are bound to be shocked after knowing the figures. Let us make you aware of the whole issue.
Meanwhile according to media reports, the indian government recently claimed that about 20 lakh CCTV cameras have been installed all over the country. Their purpose is to stop criminal activities, but the reality of these cameras installed for security purposes can blow your mind. If we look at the figures, about 1.5 lakh CCTV cameras have been installed in the country's capital Delhi itself. According to this, at least 1826 cameras have been installed at a distance of one mile in Delhi. Their number is at least 20 per 1000 people.
Moreover according to yogesh Mudras, MD of Informa Markets in india, out of the 20 lakh CCTV cameras claimed to be installed in the country, about 80 percent of the cameras are Chinese. Seeing the antics of China, the indian government has now started thinking in this area as well. In view of this, a plan is being made to make CCTV cameras in the country and ban Chinese cameras. In such a situation, the indian government has rejected many tenders for CCTV equipment from China. He gave this information in the 17th edition of IFSEC india at Pragati Maidan.
