'Will Complete Installation Of CCTV Cameras By February 24': Jadavpur University Tells Calcutta High Court
Jadavpur University on Wednesday informed the Calcutta High Court that CCTV cameras on its campus would be installed by Webel Technologies in the next 17 days.
Accordingly, the University undertook before a division bench of Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Partha Sarathi Sen that the installation would be completed before the next date of hearing on February 24.
Counsel for the university submitted that Webel had sought additional time as it is yet to procure high-end cameras recommended by the Supreme Court for academic campuses in view of security concerns.
The Bench had earlier expressed concern over the delay in installing CCTV cameras while hearing a petition alleging a lack of adequate security on the campus following the alleged attack on State Education Minister Bratya Basu by a group of students on March 1 last year.
The matter will be taken up next on February 24.
