Addressing bank branch managers and representatives from financial institutions, Superintendent of Police S.R. Senthilkumar said that installation of closed circuit television cameras on the premises, in ATMs and outside the centres was mandatory as it helps in nabbing the accused in case of theft or wrongdoings.
