Chandigarh: The installation of CCTV cameras is now mandatory for all government and administrative buildings under the Chandigarh administration. Authorities have been directed to ensure that cameras are installed to cover the building's exterior, with surveillance extending at least 500 meters in all accessible directions from the premises.
Also, the departments concerned must maintain video recordings with clear footage for effective monitoring and security purposes.
In a detailed letter to all administrative heads, SSP Chandigarh Kanwardeep Kaur stated that the move aims to strengthen the city's surveillance infrastructure as part of a coordinated effort to enhance public safety and deterrence. The directive also highlights the growing importance of public safety in Chandigarh.
A letter from the UT's SSP to all administrative heads of the Chandigarh administration reads, "As per the recommendations made during the DGsP/IGsP Conference 2024, all govt and administrative establishments are advised to strengthen their surveillance infrastructure as part of a coordinated effort to enhance public safety and deterrence mechanisms. In light of the growing importance of public safety and surveillance, and to augment the existing security infrastructure, it is highly advisable that all govt and administrative offices under your kind supervision take necessary steps to install a network of CCTV cameras on their respective premises.

The letter from the SSP states, "The CCTV cameras must be installed to ensure effective monitoring of the building exteriors, covering a perimeter of at least 500 meters in all accessible directions from the premises. The CCTV systems must be equipped with a minimum recording capacity of 10 to 15 days, with clear footage quality to aid in post-incident reviews and investigations. This initiative is vital for crime prevention and detection, and overall public safety in the Union Territory.
Steps towards this initiative shall be highly appreciated."
Sources in the Chandigarh administration said although in many offices the authorities concerned have installed CCTV cameras with sufficient recording features, there are still many offices that do not have CCTV cameras. Therefore, the police department must write to the heads of all the departments to install CCTV cameras. "Moreover, it has also been observed that in many places, the CCTV cameras are either not properly functional or do not have enough or required recording features, which renders them useless.
Thus, good quality CCTV cameras with sufficient and clear recording are required," sources said.

UK court chaos: Judge gets angry, cancels hearing on seeing suspect making sandwiches

Asja Outerbridge, who was charged for misdemeanour charged appeared late to her virtual hearing in the 36th District Court, wearing a robe. While on video, she began preparing a sandwich, prompting Judge Sean Perkins to admonish her Outerbridge was facing a misdemeanour allegation for having an open alcohol container as a passenger in a vehicle. When the judge ordered her to stop making the sandwich, Asja Outerbridge responded that she was just trying to feed her sick daughter, who she showed on camera. 'Put whatever you're trying to prepare down,' Judge Perkins insisted. Judge Sean Perkins questioned Outerbridge's attire, asking, "Is that a robe?" and instructed her to "get dressed properly," emphasizing the seriousness of the court setting. Outerbridge defended her attire, claiming she was 'properly dressed' and wore a t-shirt under the robe. The judge countered, 'I'm sorry your daughter is sick, but again, you are in court, and we're going to treat it as such.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Due to the interruptions and her behaviour, Judge Perkins ended the call.

She explained she had multiple court dates and was initially told her hearing started at 1 pm but joined the Zoom at 9:22 am and waited until 11:30 am. She said the robe and sandwich incident occurred after she was placed on hold for two hours, during which she forgot the hearing had resumed. When she realized the session restarted, she rushed back to the phone while making the sandwich. 'I definitely was wrong. I could have come dressed better and more prepared. I don't want the judge to think I'm laughing at the situation—I'm not,' she said, offering a sincere apology. Outerbridge, a personal stylist and single mother, said managing court dates and caring for her sick three year old daughter made the day particularly challenging. After the clip of the incident was posted online, Outerbridge admitted she was embarrassed. 'It was just a lot going on. I was having a mommy day,' she said. 'I saw the video with the judge, the robe, and the peanut butter and said, 'Oh my God.''
