A recent audit found that out of 2,013 construction‑demolition sites in Haryana, merely 15 have operational surveillance cameras.
A monitoring report released this week indicates that only fifteen of the two thousand and thirteen construction‑demolition (C&D) sites across Haryana are equipped with functional surveillance cameras. The data, compiled by a state agency responsible for waste management, highlights a stark shortfall in the intended monitoring infrastructure.
The limited camera coverage raises concerns about the effectiveness of regulatory oversight on construction waste, illegal demolition activities, and site safety. With the majority of sites lacking operational visual monitoring, authorities may find it challenging to enforce compliance with environmental and safety norms.
Stakeholders have been urged to address the gap promptly, as functional cameras are a key tool for real‑time observation and evidence collection. The report does not specify the reasons for the widespread non‑functionality, but it underscores the need for immediate remedial action to strengthen site surveillance across the state.
