Jharsuguda police authorities have also been receiving and submitting reports concerning the status of non-functional CCTV cameras at police stations and outposts. Official records show that the issue of CCTV functionality has been under administrative review during 2026.
Maintaining surveillance equipment is particularly important because CCTV systems are useful only when cameras remain operational and recordings are properly preserved. Regular maintenance, timely replacement of faulty equipment and monitoring of surveillance coverage can improve the effectiveness of the district’s crime-prevention infrastructure. Strengthening these systems can also support investigations when incidents occur in public places
