With over 14,600 CCTVs, Delhi Metro one of the safest means of travel: DMRC
Over 14,600 CCTVs are installed across the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation network making it one of the safest means of travel in Delhi and neighbouring cities, officials said on Tuesday.
The statement from the DMRC comes days after the Delhi Police wrote a letter to the urban transporter to take measures to prevent security breaches and suicides on its premises.
"DMRC is one of the safest means of travel in Delhi-NCR with massive cover of over 14,600 CCTVs and policing through notified police stations under the jurisdiction of Delhi Metro rail police across all its lines," the DMRC said in the statement.
"Dark spots if any, still pending, will be identified and covered. An exercise to cover such areas have already been done in the past and many new CCTVs were also installed," it stated.
A survey report has been received recently from the Delhi Police and the same is being examined to ascertain feasibility. A timetable for implementation of the proposal will be jointly worked out and
