Independence day security at risk

Half of the CCTVs non-functional in city
Nitesh Sangral
JAMMU, Aug 11: Just two days left for Independence Day but the almost half of Closed Circuit Cameras (CCTVs) are 'non-functional' in the City. Though the security scenario is being reviewed on routine basis ahead of Independence Day celebrations but the surveillance devices at various sensitive locations are 'defunct' and demanding immediate repair.

It is pertinent to mentioned here that in the name of security the state government and the state agencies frequently approach the centre for huge funds. The centre has always been liberal as it does not want to compromise on security of the state.

It is the basic duty of the state to see that whatever security related equipment or gadgets have been installed remain functional round the clock.

Officials source said that the security grid on the Jammu Railway station and the city of temples seem to have thrown to winds measures that were required to improve the monitoring system. He also said that the Railways had installed a multiphased close circuit (CCTVs) on and around the platform where several thousand passengers,including pilgrims, leave or arrive on the platform everyday. “It can happen only in the troubled state that for the last several years the entire CCTV system is out of order.

He further said that the reason is that the system developed a major fault on account of steep power fluctuation.

Those heading the crime have sent a series of communications to the Railways authorities requesting them to set right the CCTV system as it was needed to keep a eye on the movement of militants in the state especially for August 15.

The way the Government cannot take the liberty of wasting years on setting the defective CCTVs system in order. “Blame the agencies that are to monitor the functioning of the cameras installed at several sensitive spots in the Jammu city”.
He also mentioned that most of these machines are faulty, others fail to work because of frequent power breakdowns and load shedding. If it is so what was the need for investing several crores of rupees on the project.

Vijay Kumar, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Police Control Room, Jammu said that some of the CCTVs, are not functioning properly but are they are being repaired on priority basis. All the cameras will start functioning in coming days.
