The Delhi High Court has restrained Indus Towers and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) from entering into a contract to provide free Wi-Fi and set up CCTV cameras on 18,500 street poles in areas under NDMC?s jurisdiction. According to the court, the tender for the project did not prescribe specifications of the LED lights and CCTV cameras that were to be installed. The court also noted that poor quality cameras, or lack of them, coupled with poor lighting, were the cause of many crimes in the city.
The order came after Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) submitted a plea asking for overturning the letter of intent issued by NDMC to Indus Towers.
