Chandigarh Mandates CCTV for Government Building Security
Chandigarh is making it a rule that all government buildings must have security cameras.
These cameras need to watch the outside of the buildings and also cover the area around them.
The recordings from the cameras have to be clear.
This is to make the city safer by helping prevent and solve crimes.
Some buildings already have cameras, but they might need better ones to follow the new rules.
CCTV installation is now mandatory for all Chandigarh government buildings.
Cameras must cover building exteriors and extend 500 meters in all directions.
Departments must maintain recordings with clear footage.
The move aims to strengthen surveillance and enhance public safety.
Existing CCTV systems may need upgrades to meet the new requirements.
