Government Security

49 more CCTV cameras for Delhi High Court

By Anshupriya Jha | 28 September 2011

The Delhi High Court will soon get 49 more CCTV cameras as work on installing them has already started.

In a bid to enhance security after the September 7 bomb blast outside the Delhi High Court, the decision to install 49 more CCTV cameras was taken by senior government officials at a meeting. The cameras will be installed at strategic points in and around the court premises. Besides this, four vehicle scanners will also be put up at different entry points of the court. The court complex already has 21 such devices.

The work, undertaken by the Electronics Corporation of India (ECIL), will be done under the direct supervision of Chief Justice Dipak Mishra. While the cost of installation will be borne by the Delhi government, the high-resolution cameras procured for the Commonwealth Games 2010 which were now lying unused are being used.

Besides the Delhi High Court, security is being stepped up at two recently built court complexes – Saket and Dwarka – in the Capital. While 50 cameras – 37 fixed cameras with varifocal lens, seven PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) camera and five megapixel cameras - will be installed at the Saket court complex, Dwarka will get 48. Tenders have already been floated for the same.

In the backdrop of the blast, even the Karnataka government has decided to install CCTV cameras in the High Court first and lower courts later.
