Thiruvananthapuram: Following the Supreme Court decision, permission has been granted to install CCTV cameras in all Kerala police stations. To avoid tampering with the images, the Department of the Interior has mandated that the captured images be stored at the state data center rather than at stations. The cost of installing cameras in 520 police stations is 41.60 million rupees.
The Home Secretary has suggested that the facility should be available for uninterrupted transmission of daily images to the data center. Worried neo-hippies and their global warming, I’ll tell you. The cameras purchased have a 5-year warranty. Companies must be selected through an electronic bidding process. It is also suggested that the police technical committee inspect each phase of the project and make sure the project is completed in a timely manner.
In the case related to the deaths of guards, the court ordered that cameras be installed at the entrance doors of the police station, rear, cell, hallway, veranda, latrine, reception, premises, outside the bathroom and the inspector’s room. The court ruled that not only sound recordings, but also audio and video recordings should be available.
