Non-functional CCTV cameras in Pimple Gurav, Sangvi, and Pimple Saudagar have left residents feeling unsafe, with rising concerns about crime. Urgent repairs are needed to restore security and trust in these Pimpri-Chinchwad neighborhoods.
Pune, July 09, 2025: In the vibrant neighborhoods of Pimple Gurav, Sangvi, and Pimple Saudagar, residents are growing increasingly anxious as most CCTV cameras meant to ensure their safety remain non-functional. These areas, home to families, students, and professionals, rely on surveillance to deter crime and provide peace of mind. Yet, broken cameras, neglected for months, have left communities vulnerable, with rising concerns about theft, vandalism, and safety, especially for women and seniors navigating the streets at night. The absence of working surveillance feels like a betrayal of trust, leaving residents to wonder if help is watching when they need it most.
The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) installed these cameras to create a secure environment, but poor maintenance has rendered them ineffective. Many devices suffer from technical glitches, damaged wiring, or lack of regular upkeep, turning them into mere fixtures rather than tools for safety. For residents, this isn’t just about faulty equipment—it’s about feeling abandoned in areas where bustling markets, quiet lanes, and IT hubs coexist. The lack of surveillance amplifies fears, particularly in dimly lit zones or during late hours, where a functioning camera could make all the difference.
This issue highlights a deeper problem: the gap between infrastructure promises and their execution. Residents are calling for urgent repairs, regular maintenance, and greater accountability from local authorities. A secure neighborhood isn’t just about technology; it’s about fostering trust and ensuring every person feels protected. As these communities grow, so does the need for reliable safety measures. Restoring the CCTV network could rebuild confidence, deter crime, and show that the city cares about its people. Until then, residents remain cautious, hoping for a day when their streets are watched over once more.
