118 CCTV cameras to be installed in Delhi to augment security

Civic body NDMC will install 118 new CCTV cameras in central Delhi this year at an estimated cost of Rs 5 crore to augment security in area.

The cameras will be installed in eight commercial and office complexes and 20 electric sub-station buildings, the
New Delhi Municipal Council budget unveiled today said.

200 CCTV cameras have already been installed in 10 municipal buildings to augment their security in the NDMC
areas.

Asked about the project to install CCTVs at Connaught Place, the requirement for which arose after the 2008 Delhi
serial blasts, NDMC chairperson Archana Arora said the work was in progress.

Engineers India Limited (EIL) will install CCTVs there.

They are discussing some specifications with the police,” she said.
