The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city government to list a standard operating procedure (SOP) on the installation on CCTV cameras in the classrooms of government schools.

It said the installation of cameras is important for the safety of children.

The high court orally observed that the two petitions challenging the installation of CCTV cameras in classrooms over privacy concerns were “premature” and said it will deal with the matter as and when the SOP is drawn by the government. “It is premature as of today. As soon as the SOP is drawn up, we will see,” a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said.

The High Court listed the matter for further hearing on July 18.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
