Mangalore under CCTV surveillance

September 15, 2011

Mangalore, September 15: The modern technology has geared up to play a crucial role in the security system of Mangalore , with the Police Commissionerate poised to bring the crucial points of this coastal city under surveillance with the help of close circuit television (CCTV) cameras round the clock.

The monitoring of traffic with the help of CCTV Cameras, according to police, will reduce a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity, as the footage will provide first hand evidence.

Mangalore City Police Commissioner, Seemanth Kumar Singh speaking to Coastal Digest informed that the cameras that are being installed would be monitored by a team throughout 24 hours. This will enable them to note down traffic violations, including minor details such as the vehicle design and vehicle number. In case of accidents, the culprits can be identified using the recorded footage, he said.

The cameras have been placed at important locations of the city such as Hampankatte, PVS, Jyothi, Lal Bagh, Lady Hill, City Bus Terminus, KSRTC Bus stand, Railway Staion, Kottara Chowki, and others.

The Commissioner expressed regret that the work has not been completed as yet, due to rains. He is positive that this project will certainly help monitor crime, not only in terms of traffic violations, but also anti-social elements such as chain snatching.

Once the work is completed, these cameras will record every activity at any part of the day. As it is being operated from a control room, any sort of violation of rules will be immediately detected and the culprits, taken to task. Depending on the budget, more number of cameras may be installed in the future, Mr Singh said.

Besides important places in the city, several cameras have also been installed at the Mangalore Airport as part of its security measures. This will facilitate checking and identification of suspicious activities, said the Mangalore Airport Director, M R Vasudeva. “Most importantly, the entry and exit of people, which is crucial, will be noted down,” he added.

M R Vasudeva is of the opinion that the fixing of these CCTV cameras has more of a psychological effect on the people. He stated that the knowledge of CCTV cameras monitoring their moves will make the people cautious of whatever they do.

A 32-year-old Dalit man was allegedly stripped and assaulted by a group of 13 youth in Karnataka's Vijayapura for reportedly touching a motorbike of an upper caste owner, police said on Monday.

"On a complaint by the Dalit victim (Kashinath Talwar), we have booked the 13 accused and investigating the incident, which occurred at Minajgi village near Talikoti on July 18," Vijayapura district Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal told reporters here.

"Though Talwar claimed that he touched the bike by mistake and pleaded for mercy, he said the accused severely thrashed him with sticks and footwear and took off his pants while he lay on the road haplessly," Agarwal said, citing from the victim's 2-page complaint in Kannada.

A video clip of the assault went viral on the social media and triggered outrage in the district against the upper caste accused, as the intervention by the victim's parents did not stop them from carrying the assault. Vijayapura is 524km northwest of Bengaluru.

Talwar's father Yankappa also alleged that he, his wife and their daughter were also attacked by the accused when they tried to rescue him from being brutally assaulted.

In a related development, two-three women in the village also filed a complaint with the police against Talwar for allegedly eve-teasing and 'flashing' before them.

"We have summoned Talwar to inquire about his conduct as the women alleged that he teased them, touched them inappropriately and exposed his private parts while they were washing clothes outside their houses," Agarwal said.
