The cameras would be mounted on the shoulders and chest of the police officials. Such cameras would reduce the number of arguments between public and traffic policemen, as the cameras and record live videos, which could later be used as an evidence. 

 

The camera weighs only 85 grams. It is water-proof, dust-proof, and is equipped with GPS location. Night vision, HD Video, Audio, eight-hour battery life and storage capacity of 128 GB are some of the features of the camera.

Modern technology has become necessary in order to avoid such incidents, he said.

Some unknown miscreants in Nagpur vandalised Bishop Cotton School situated on VIP in Dharampeth during the weekend. Apart from the broken plant pots and damaged earthing wires, empty alcohol bottles could also be seen thrown on the floor of the classrooms.


Prima facie it seems some drunkards might have used the school as their hang out place to consume alcohol as it was a weekend and the school was closed. However, nothing could be ascertained as of now; the investigation on the same is on. 


When Nation Next spoke to Sonia Singh, Principal at Bishop Cotton School, she told us, What kind of a mentality is this Such people should at least spare kids. It’s so disheartening to see something like this. Class 10 students had their board exams today; unfortunately, we couldn’t indulge them much.”

Singh added, “All the pots have been broken, the earthing wires for the newly installed water cooler for kids has also been damaged.”

However, Singh, who filed an FIR at Sitabuld Police Station today, said, this wasn’t the first such incident; even during lockdown, some miscreants had stolen printers and other property of the school.
