Pune Mayor Manjusha Nagpure has taken decisive action in response to increasing incidents of sexual harassment against children by ordering the urgent repair of non-functional CCTV cameras throughout the city. During a recent inspection, it was found that many cameras, particularly in government schools, public spaces, and key intersections, were either damaged or obstructed. The mayor noted that some cameras had ceased functioning due to expired warranties, while others were affected by road excavation work. Recent grave incidents, including crimes against children in Nasrapur and Mhalunge, have heightened concerns over citizen safety. To address this, Nagpure has demanded a comprehensive audit of all CCTV systems, immediate repairs, and the installation of new cameras where necessary. She emphasized that a robust CCTV surveillance system is crucial for maintaining law and order in Pune and called for a special initiative to ensure that all systems are fully operational with a mechanism for ongoing maintenance and monitoring.
