Delhi’s much awaited CCTV project which was a prominent promise in Delhi’s election of year 2015, had a plan to install almost 1.4 lakh CCTV Cameras in Delhi but after almost 4 years CCTV’s in some part of the Delhi have begun to install.

Women’s protection and law & order may not be regulated by the Delhi government, but Delhi Government is doing everything they can do to increase safety for women.

Cameras of the Delhi Government will keep an eye out for people at every corner of the city.
In addition to contributing to improved law and order, it aims to improve the security quotient for women.
