Police install CCTV cameras in Jorpati area
KATHMANDU, JUL 30 - In a bid to set up permanent surveillance mechanism against crimes in Jorpati area of Kathmandu, the Metropolitan Police Circle in Bouddha installed 35 CCTV cameras along the Jorpati-Bouddha road on Monday.
Nineteen of the cameras, installed in the Chabahil-Jorpati road, have HD and night vision features.
According to DSP Manoj KC, incharge of the circle, the installation of CCTV cameras is aimed at keeping strict vigil on activities taking place in the area round the clock. He said the CCTV cameras help reduce manual effort in crime investigations, making police's work more scientific and efficient.
Local branches of various banks, business enterprises and local people supported police in installing the cameras. DSP KC said a committee comprising all local stakeholders was formed to carry out the job.
Police took the initiative to curb crimes in the area after a number of wildlife traffickers, drug smugglers and gangs of robbery and theft were arrested from the area recently.
Installation of the CCTV cameras in such area is always helpful for police to curb criminal activities and keep surveillance in the society, a police officer said.
