“These CCTV will have to have 30 days’ storage. Assam police will complete installing CCTV in the city by October this year. In no time through a public-private partnership, we can have 50,000 CCTV installed. Police will serve proper legal notice if there is any crime against the house owner before accessing their CCTVs. There will be no infringement of private life,” Sarma added.
The Assam government has proposed to bring legalization in this regard in the state assembly.
