Speaking with Pune pulse Manisha Shekatkar, Superintending Engineer of the Electrical Department, the maintenance contract for the installed CCTV cameras has expired. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has informed the Pune Police about this development. However, Shekatkar clarified that the issue lies not with the cameras themselves, but rather with overhead wires causing technical problems due to overlap with WiFi connections, cable wires, and CCTV wires, requiring frequent maintenance. Due to budget constraints, the PMC has requested the police to take over the responsibility.”
“The Municipal Corporation has installed 2,909 CCTVs, but 1,054 are closed due to technical issues,” said Manisha Shekatkar, Superintending Engineer, Electrical Department. “The control of these CCTVs is handed over to the local police after installation.”
The PMC and police must resolve the maintenance dispute to restore these critical security measures. Until then, Pune’s citizens remain vulnerable.
