Cameras for protection

By R.K.Radhakrishnan

CHENNAI, AUG. 23. Why are there so many cameras in the Assembly ?

The Chief Minister, Ms. Jayalalithaa, says these have been installed to ensure the protection of members.

It was in response to an observation of Mr. C. Gnanasekaran (TMC) during the budget discussions that the Chief Minister made this observation. The member said he felt insecure, sandwiched between DMK and PMK members.

``Some had planned to engage in terrorist acts in the Assembly and the 12 Films Division cameras have led to their abandoning their designs,'' Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
