It had also been installed at a very low height, making it relatively easy to access,” Reddy said. A solar-powered CCTV camera installed near Banaswadi station to monitor railway tracks and keep watch for stone-pelting incidents has gone missing from its pole. The incident has raised questions over how effectively surveillance equipment is being secured and whether such systems can be relied upon to curb attacks on passing trains. “I had been seeing CCTV cameras for the past three to four months, near the tracks outside Banaswadi railway station. When I passed by last week, I noticed one of them was missing.
In all, 21 such cameras have been installed at various locations across Bengaluru. Because railway authorities had installed it precisely to strengthen surveillance along vulnerable stretches, the missing camera is particularly concerning.
