The Lahore High Court has directed the Punjab government to install CCTV cameras in all police stations within six months to help eliminate “thana culture”. Issuing a detailed order on a public interest petition, Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan ordered that the data of CCTVs would be preserved at least for a period of three years. Dr Yasin Zia, chairman of a welfare organization, had filed a petition seeking directions to the government for the provision of ambulances for his organisation and installation of CCTV cameras and other security equipments at public places. —Correspondent
