Promising complete synergy between Delhi government and the Centre, Union Minister of Urban Development, M Venkaiah Naidu, has said that the BJP-led NDA government is "committed" to ensuring security of women.
He said that in an "atmosphere of fear in the society, development of neither men, women or children is possible".
"The BJP government is committed to providing secured atmosphere for the society, especially the women...It will fully co-operate with the Delhi government in its security campaign and fulfil its responsibility," Naidu said while inaugurating the installation of a CCTV network in RK Puram area last evening.
Naidu added that vigilance through CCTV cameras provides a sense of security.
"On the one hand, the society is suffering due to the violence against women and on the other hand hospitals, schools and local markets are the targets of terrorism. In such a situation, vigilance through CCTV provides a sense of security," the Minister said.
Praising the efforts of outgoing RK Puram MLA Anil Sharma in getting the CCTV installation done, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay, lamented the shortage of funds in taking such initiatives.
"The local police and the public representatives are handicapped due to the lack of fund in providing security through installing CCTVs at public places," he said.
