The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the police to repair or replace the non-functional CCTV cameras installed by it at various locations in the national capital.
The direction by a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar came after the Delhi Police told the court that out of the 4,388 cameras installed by it across the city, only 2,919 were functional and the rest were not working.
Delhi government additional standing counsel Satyakam, appearing for the police, told the court that the non-functional cameras were being repaired.
Taking note of the submission, the bench said,"The cameras which are not working be either replaced or repaired. As the respondent is working (to repair the cameras) we see no reason to monitor the replacement or repair of the CCTVs."
