KALAYA: The district government on Wednesday shut down various markets in the lower Orakzai tribal district after the shopkeepers failed to install closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) to cope with the difficult security situation.
The traders alleged that the district government closed down Mishti Maila, Ferozkhel, Sanghra markets and others bazaars in Orakzai. The district government had asked the shopkeepers to install CCTV cameras in the bazaars to keep an eye on the movement of suspected elements. A shopkeeper told this scribe that most of the shopkeepers could not afford to install the CCTV cameras. He said that one camera cost Rs15,000 to Rs25,000 and it needed electricity to function. We neither have the financial resources to buy the CCTV cameras nor is there electricity to operate the cameras, he argued.
