Amidst the ongoing controversy and alleged assault of Indian Army officer and his fiancée at Bharatpur police station in Bhubaneswar, 13 police stations across Odisha lack CCTV cameras. This information was shared by Odisha Police ADG Dayal Gangwar who made a personal appearance in Orissa High Court on Tuesday during a hearing of Bharatpur case matter.
The ADG informed that the process to install CCTV cameras in these police stations would be completed within the next 15 days. Similarly, the Video Management System (VMS) will also be operational within the same period.
Through the VMS, the Superintendent of Police can monitor the CCTV footage of all police stations. During the previous hearing, the Odisha government had earlier informed that nearly 57 police stations in the state did not have CCTV cameras.
