KATHMANDU: On the eve of New Year 2069, businesspersons and local clubs, with support from the Kathmandu Metropolitan City, police and a non-government organisation, have installed 25 CCTV cameras around New Road, Kathmandu. Police said the surveillance cameras were installed as part of the security measures adopted for the city’s business hub, which has sites of religious, cultural and historical significance. Of the cameras, 16 are fixed while others are mobile. Officials said the cameras will help maintain round-the-clock watch on movement of people and other activities in the area, with special focus on businesses, financial institutions.

Surveillance cameras have power backup to ensure operation even during power outages. The business community had been raising security concerns following a spate of robberies, snatching and shootings in the area.
