Audit Finds Only 2% of DDA Parks Equipped with CCTV Cameras, Security Measures Enhanced
An internal safety audit by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) found that only 16 of its 736 parks have CCTV cameras, about 2 percent coverage. Following a recent gangrape incident, the DDA categorized parks into high, medium, and low risk, prioritizing security measures such as bike patrolling, armed guards, additional lighting, and lockable gates. The agency is also implementing biometric attendance for security staff and enhancing police coordination to improve park safety across Delhi.
