The chief minister of National Capital Territory of Delhi Arvind Kejrival expressed his serious concern over the increasing deterioration of law and order situation of Delhi with the incidents of rapes, snatchings , murders, gangwars and women assaults going on unabatedly.
He disclosed that the Delhi government has started the process of installing high resolution and highly modernised CCTV cameras in three lakh numbers in various locations of the eleven revenue districts of Delhi in order to control crimes and ensure the women ‘s safety in particular including the safety and security of of entire Delhi residents.
Answering queries of reporters after launching of the first CCTV camera installation in New Delhi constituency , chief minister Arvind Kejrival said that Delhi despite being the capital of the country has become crime prone as incidents of burglaries, muders and women insecurity are on the rise.
On the question of his being soft towards the Delhi police and the centre as compared to his raslier harsh stand despite increase in the crime graph in the capital, Kejriwal asked the reporter as to what does he meant by being soft.
He refused the charge and said that the state government was duly performing its duty and the centre should do its duty to contrl crimes in Delhi.
He said he has recently visited a six year old rape survivor in Delhi’s Safdarjung hospital and met her traumatic parents. The rapist has been caught within 24 hours.
But had there been CCTV cameras in the area the crime could have been averted as these CCTV cameras work as deterrent for the criminals or anybody committing the wrong acts.

After the installation of these CCTV cameras the chances of criminals being caught will enhance tremendously thus working as strong deterrents in the near future.
He urged upon the union government and the Delhi police to transparently perform their duties to improve the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi.
