Delhi government schools' defunct CCTV cameras spark opposition criticism

The Delhi government has installed CCTV cameras in government schools to ensure the safety and security of students. However, nearly half of these cameras are non-operational due to the lack of internet facilities and other related issues. In response to this problem, Congress slammed the Kejriwal-led government. Congress spokesperson Siddharth Roy accused education minister Atishi Singh of jeopardising students’ safety. 

The government, noting the occurrence of criminal activities within schools, initiated the CCTV camera project in 2019. According to officials, the main objective was to install CCTV surveillance in all government-operated schools to decrease crime and ensure a safe environment.
