1,900 CCTV cameras while 42 stations had no cameras at all

According to the letter, the GRP said that only 88 stations on Mumbai suburban i.e. Western Railway (WR) and Central Railway’s (CR) mainline, harbour and trans-harbour had around 1,900 CCTV cameras while 42 stations had no cameras at all. It was also mentioned that only five out of these 1,900 CCTV cameras had the resolution to identify faces of miscreants and as a result, most of the time, it had become difficult to track down miscreants and those who often attacked women in trains. “The cameras that are currently in place have absolutely low resolution; we cannot make out the face of an accused and usually have to rely on clothes to identify a person. If the accused changes his clothes, then our last clue disappears as well,” said an official on condition of anonymity.
