Coimbatore: Nonfunctional CCTV cameras in Pollachi City and surroundings have become a major hindrance to monitoring criminal activities.



To monitor and curb criminal activities in Pollachi city area and its surroundings, the police department has placed more than 100 CCTV cameras. These cameras have aided the police in capturing a lot of criminals involved in various cases. Due to the non-maintenance of these CCTV cameras, criminal activities might rise, opine the public.



Cameras that are placed in the Pollachi Bazaar street, Bus Stand signal, Coimbatore Road, Venkatesa Colony and other areas are in a state of disrepair and are inactive.



Due to the lockdown relaxations that were announced recently, people's movement in Pollachi city has increased. As a result, the possibilities of crimes such as robbery have increased. The public feel that if the cameras were to remain unfunctional at such a time, ability to monitor criminal activities would be hindered.

Social activists have requested that cameras that are nonfunctional be repaired and the control rooms of CCTV cameras be manned by designated police personnel.
