The city traffic police has directed all schools across the city to install CCTV cameras in vehicles that ferry children. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) M.A. Saleem said the police would implement guidelines issued by both the Transport Department and the City Police Commissioner. All vehicles managed by schools to pick up and drop children should be installed with GPS and CCTV cameras, failing which the vehicle owners and the school concerned would be prosecuted in the court of law, Mr. Saleem said.
Apart from ensuring round-the-clock security and background verification of the staff, Police Commissioner M.N. Reddi had also insisted on installing CCTV cameras and GPS facility compulsorily.
