New Delhi, December 16

Recalling the infamous gangrape incident of Nirbhaya in December 2012, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today lamented that not enough had been done towards bolstering the security of women.

Keeping in view the woman security, the Delhi Government would soon install CCTV cameras across the capital, the Chief Minister asserted.

Addressing a gathering at the inauguration of a loop at a flyover in Mukundpur, he announced that unauthorised colonies would have proper facilities of roads, potable water and sewer lines in two-three years.

"A few years ago, on this day, the Nirbhaya incident took place. I don't think, together we all have taken any bold steps towards bolstering the security of women. It is a matter of concern for all of us and we should not indulge in blaming each other.

On December 12, 2012, Nirbhaya, a physiotherapy student was gangraped in a moving bus, and dumped on the streets under the cover of darkness in South Delhi.

"But, I am happy that the PWD has taken a solid step in this direction. The tenders for installing CCTV cameras in the city have been opened. I was talking to the PWD minister, and perhaps if there are no impediments in technical evaluation, soon we will have CCTV cameras across the city," he said.

Installation of these cameras was expected to be completed within five months.

As per the plan, around 2,000 cameras would be installed in each of the 70 assembly constituencies in the city.
