Atik Pathan, office bearer of Gemini Housing society said, “We had demanded CCTV cameras from the PMC to fight the menace of speeding and criminal activities in the area. We are indebted to corporator Bhangire.”

Pravin Suryavanshi, another area resident, said, “Accidents had become the norm and our requests to the civic body were neglected. Our elected representative installed the cameras. The PMC has completely failed in its duty while the elected member did the work in record time.”

Anandvan Parisar Citizens Forum (APRF) member Nitin Bokey said, “The area was prone to nuisances and it has been a long pending demand of the citizens to install CCTVs.”

Corporator Nana Bhangire said, “We had received representations from area residents about rising crime and speeding of two-wheelers in violation of the law. As their public representative it is my duty to make their lives safe and secure. We installed the CCTVs at those locations where the criminals can be caught and cars and two-wheeler riders will be booked.”

A ‘live’ feed has been directly given to the Kondhwa Police for strict action against violators.
