"It will help curb crime against women, rash driving and enforcing no-smoking zone on the campus," he said.
Sagar Preet Hooda, DCP (North) said, "The new session is starting from July and we will try to make all the cameras operational by that time.

During admission there is a lot of rush and the cameras will help avoid untoward incidents. The police will keep a close watch."

The control and monitoring of these cameras will be done from the Maurice Nagar and Roop Nagar police stations.

Over the next one month, the police will install CCTV cameras in front of the School of Open Learning, St Stephen's College, SGTB Khalsa College, Post Graduate Women's Hostel and other places.

Hailing the move by the Delhi Police, Nupur Sharma, Delhi University Students Union president said, "The move has come at a proper time.

From June, the admission process will start and there will be a lot of newcomers visiting the campus. We are looking forward to making the campus a friendly and peaceful place for everyone."

The students are also happy with the move. Nandani Saxena, a first year student of Sri Ram College of Commerce, said: "For each and every small issue on the campus it is not possible to go to the police.

Now that the cameras have been installed it will be easy for the police to keep a check on such incidents.

We believe that once the campus is under electronic surveillance, incidents of harassment will come down by 50-60 per cent as eve-teasers will know that they are being constantly watched."

Last year more than 20 colleges had planned to install CCTV cameras on their premises to monitor and check ragging and eve-teasing.

Sri Venkateswara College is among those colleges which have already installed CCTV cameras.
