CCTV in schools: SC issues notice to Delhi govt

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Delhi government on a PIL challenging its decision for the installation of CCTV cameras in government schools.

The petitioner in its plea to the judicature has stated that installation of 1.5 lakh cameras in all the classrooms and live streaming of footage will have psychological pressure on children. Besides, he also cited privacy issues.

A bench comprised of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Sanjiv Khanna sought Delhi government’s response within a span of six weeks.

Moreover, the bench also refused to pass interim order on stay of the government’s decision.
