Bihar to install CCTV cameras in all state-run buses from December
The footage from the cameras will be sent online to a control room to monitor passenger safety and staff conduct.
The Bihar transport department is preparing to install CCTV cameras in all state-run buses across the state, according to Prabhat Khabar.
The installation work is scheduled to begin in December. The images captured by these cameras will be sent online to a control room.
Under the new system, the cameras will monitor activities related to passenger safety. This is intended to help in cases involving the safety of women and elderly passengers, or to understand incidents during emergencies through recorded footage.
The control room will allow officials to monitor the condition of the buses and operational activities. The department will use the recordings to investigate any complaints or instances of negligence.
The cameras will also monitor the work of bus drivers and other employees. The footage will be used to address complaints regarding misconduct with passengers or the ignoring of established rules.
The department aims to increase transparency and accountability in the state-run bus service while making it safer for passengers.
