Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has installed CCTV cameras at its land department’s premises (locally known as ‘Iqbal Hall’) for the purposes of securing its land revenue records and ensuring effective monitoring, a news source reported.
The installation of CCTV cameras is part of the CDA’s
efforts for transparency of various processes, safeguarding records, and improvement
of service delivery. In addition, this measure is expected to help monitor the
revenue staff and remove corrupt practices.
According to the information available, the CCTV surveillance
would help identify irrelevant entrants and take action against them. This, in
turn, would help genuine applicants in early disposal of their issues
pertaining to the revenue staff.
The CDA has deputed its staff to ensure round-the-clock monitoring, especially during office hours, with the monitoring system currently located in the office of the Deputy Commissioner. In addition, the officials concerned also have the option of monitoring the CCTV footage through their mobile phones.
