PUNE: An all-party delegation on Sunday demanded that the civic administration and the police department draft a fool-proof plan in eight days for installation of CCTV cameras in the city.The delegation met police commissioner Gulabrao Pol on Sunday regarding the law-and-order situation in the city, in the wake of the serial blasts on Wednesday.

Shiv Sena leader Neelam Gorhe said, "Corporators from across party lines asked for specific steps that will be taken to install the CCTV cameras in the city. Various issues, like the practical and social aspects related to the installation of the cameras, were discussed in the meeting."

Gorhe said all elected members have shown a willingness to raise special funds for the project, but have demanded a fool-proof plan to ensure that the system functions properly.

They said that the plan should address problems like battery back-up for CCTV cameras, security, storage of footage and maintenance.

Congress leader Mohan Joshi said, "Installation of CCTVs is a joint effort of various government departments. The operations and maintenance of the CCTV cameras should be handled by one agency to ensure that the network is well coordinated." He said the delegation gave a deadline of eight days for the plan to be drafted.Meanwhile, party leaders also discussed other security measures and related facilities like providing of special suits for bomb detection squads and bulletproof jackets.
