Vijayawada: Advocating extensive use of technology to achieve zero crime rate in the state, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday suggested that officials should consider making sharing of data from surveillance cameras of private establishments mandatory under the Public Safety Act. He directed officials to amend the rules if required, noting that some people resort to crimes under the guise of politics and shift the blame on the govt. He instructed officials to be more vigilant where people and political leaders do not cooperate with the police. "Take steps for collection of data from such people under the Public Safety Act and hold them responsible for the crimes if they willingly do not extend cooperation to the police. For prevention of crime, public safety, and investigation, sharing of CCTV footage from theatres, malls, hotels, and other establishments should be made mandatory," the CM said, while asking officials to identify crime hotspots and ensure round-the-clock monitoring through CCTVs.
