Chandigarh: Audit captures issues in CCTV renting before chancellor’s PU visit

Hindustan Times  

An audit conducted by the resident audit officer on the functioning of the registrar office for the 2023-24 session has pointed to discrepancies in renting CCTV cameras during the visit of Panjab University chancellor and Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, for the Global Alumni Meet held in 2023. Further, PU had paid almost ₹65,000 towards renting the cameras while 17 cameras of same specifications were ordered for purchase and installation at its International Hostel just a few days later on December 29, 2023. Reasons for obtaining one quotation without date and installing CCTV cameras on rent for three days at such a high rate instead of purchasing the CCTV along with the proposal signed by the CUS before the date of quotation were called for during audit, but they added that no reply was furnished. Purchasing of cameras has to be done through the government e-marketplace portal and it takes time so it couldn’t be done.” However, PU also rents CCTV cameras for other big events.
