In the first phase, DTC plans to install CCTV cameras in 200 buses, including low-floor AC and low-floor non-AC buses in the national capital. ‘We have successfully installed CCTV cameras in 80 DTC buses of the Rajghat Depot. By this Friday, we will complete the target of installing CCTV in 100 buses of this depot,’ DTC spokesperson R S Minhas said. This is the first time in the history of DTC that CCTV cameras have been installed in its buses, which would prove useful for women passengers travelling in corporation buses, especially at late night. Minhas said that under this project, they have selected buses of two depots — Rajghat and Sarojini Nagar, adding that 200 buses of these two depots will have CCTV cameras in first phase.
‘A Control Room has also been set up at Rajghat Depot where our experts will monitor the footages of the CCTV cameras on daily routine. The cameras have a capacity of recording for seven hours. Besides, we will also store the footage of 15 hours in computers kept in Control Room,’ he added.
