Delhi High Court on Friday chided the government for installing 15,000 CCTV cameras within weeks for US President Barack Obama's upcoming visit, but failing to act fast when it comes to meet the needs of the citizens.
So "let's get someone from outer space," a bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva remarked. The bench was hearing an application seeking that the cameras being put up for the American President's security should not be removed after the event in light of several incidents like the December 16 gangrape case.
"Because of a foreign President you (government) do it, but not for Indian citizens. If we direct you to do it for Indians, you do in months and years, else you do it in weeks. Let's get someone from outer space," the bench said.
Government can put 15,000 CCTVs for Barack Obama but not for Indians, says Delhi High Court
