Kolkata: The West Bengal government has
decided to install CCTV cameras in university campuses in the
state to ensure safety and security of students as well as
teaching and non-teaching staff members.
"We have asked the universities to install CCTVs in
the campus," state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told
reporters at the state secretariat today.
Asked whether the education department would instruct
colleges also to do the same, Chatterjee said, "We are
discussing with the colleges regarding installing CCTVs."
Staff members of a couple of colleges in the city were
recently heckled by the students.
The minister said currently there is no plan to
install CCTVs in schools in the state.
