Aswin reported that the BMA had set up 13 CCTV monitoring centres and all security cameras in all 50 districts were online and linked to the centres.

The governor said the monitoring centres always check whether the cameras are online so that key incidents are not missed from being recorded.

He said the public can request footage from the cameras by contacting the centres. People who seek the footage must inform the centres of the serial numbers on the CCTV pole or on CCTV controlling boxes as well as the date and time when the accidents or untoward incidents took place.
