The Delhi High Court on Friday slammed the city police for "not doing anything" to install CCTV cameras in Aman Vihar despite the area reporting hundreds of cases of missing children and adults, saying the law enforcer has "not appreciated" the seriousness of its orders.
"It is misfortune of people living in Aman Vihar that not a single CCTV camera has been installed there by the respondent (police)," a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar said.
"It appears the seriousness (of our orders) has not been appreciated by the respondent. Enough is enough. Unnecessarily, you people are not doing anything," the court said.
According to Delhi police, the court noted, 587 cameras were to be installed at 118 vulnerable locations in the city, but it has not been done.
In 2017, the court had told the police that it should not cite lack of funds as an excuse to not install the cameras and ensure proper lighting in those areas.
On Friday, the court told the Delhi Police Commissioner to install CCTV cameras in Aman Vihar and other vulnerable locations "as early as possible" and preferably within six months
