Amma canteens to come under CCTV surveillance
Posted on: 26/Jul/2013 11:02:44 AM
The low budget Amma canteens will, most likely, get CCTV cameras installed. A resolution for the proposal for the same is expected to be passed soon. A sum of Rs. 1.07 crores will be used to install 600 cameras at the 200 canteens.
‘There have been instances of utensils gone missing from these canteens. The surveillance will help prevent smuggling and theft of food materials. Errant staff can be pulled up and malpractices be detected… The women staff are likely to leave the canteens only at 9pm after cleaning up. There is also a possibility of drunkards demanding food at night. CCTV cameras will help prevent these instances’, say officials.
