Of these, 34 CCTV cameras have already been installed in the city and work is going on fast track to install the rest of the cameras.
Pertinently, the Jammu and Kashmir government has spent of corers of rupees on these CCTV cameras and installed most of crowed place across Jammu. But despite the spent corers of rupees, these cameras are proved blind alley.

Sources said police had already installed 12 CCTV cameras in the city but most of them have gone out of order and are not functioning. The security arrangements in the city and its outskirts have been beefed up after the recent attack on liquor shop at Narwal area.

He further said that near about five have been passed to installed CCTV cameras in the Jammu and Kashmir state but whenever any crime happened in the nearly the CCTV cameras, these cameras, is not serving the purpose, for which they have been installed in the state particularly in Jammu city, the winter capital of the state.

He stated the Police department maintained that there were lot of expectations and hopes in the department that the installation of the CCTV cameras would help in solving cases, but results were not up to the expectations.

“The information received from the various police stations of Jammu city, reveals that the rate of case solving in the city is not on the expected lines despite installation of CCTV cameras in the city,” police official on condition of anonymity. He also informed that the CCTV cameras have proved unsuccessful to put a check on the crime incidents and nab the culprits involved in many incidents.

When contacted Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) PCR Jammu Vijay Kumar is refused to any comment on CCTV cameras issue.
