Three miscreants on a bike, police unaware
After this robbery on the highway in the Police Commissionerate system, questions have also been raised on the security system. Let us tell you that in order to reduce the workload from Vijayanagar police station, Crossing Republic police station was made separate. Even though the area is small, the monitoring of the police on the highway is under question. Police is running a campaign against those who break the traffic rules. Even after this, three miscreants kept roaming around with guns on a bike and no one stopped or interrupted them for checking on the way. If the police had stopped him at some point even in case of breaking the rules, this incident would not have happened.
CCTV cameras are not installed on the highway
After the Police Commissionerate system was implemented in Ghaziabad, the police had sent a proposal to NHAI to install cameras on the highway. In which it was said to complete the work of installing 235 cameras in a few days. These cameras were being installed for traffic control as well as for security, but the work of installing them has not started yet. According to sources, NHAI has put the project of installing cameras in cold storage.
