56 new CCTV cameras were inaugurated by local MP Manish Tewari in Ram Darbar, Chandigarh, with the intent to enhance residents' safety and security. The action is an answer to public pressure for more surveillance in all the city's neighborhoods.

Background & Purpose

56 CCTV cameras have been fitted in Ram Darbar to enhance local safety and security.
The move seeks to allay widespread fears about security in parts of Chandigarh, ranging from villages and colonies to sectors.

Official Statements & Support

MP Manish Tewari highlighted the great need for CCTV cameras across the city and underlined the necessity of bringing these cameras into the surveillance system of the police to enhance monitoring.
Tewari has sought a complete list from the UT Director General of Police so that present and future installations could be coordinated under the MPLAD scheme.

Community & Leadership Involvement

The cameras were installed at the behest of former mayor Kamlesh, local Congress leaders, and block president Sonia Singh.
The event was graced by MC Commissioner Amit Kumar, Chandigarh Congress president Harmohinder Singh Lucky, Deputy Mayor Taruna Mehta, and other dignitaries.

Future Outlook

The initiative is one part of a larger initiative to bring CCTV coverage city-wide in support of both local police stations and the integrated command control center.
Similar projects have previously been implemented in Manimajra and Bapudham, reflecting Tewari’s ongoing commitment to public safety.
