Hyderabad Man Donates Rs 4 Lakhs To City Police For CCTV Cameras

A Hyderabadi  went a step ahead on the 22nd of December to donate Rs. 4 lakh to the Hyderabad Police.

Mohammed Asif Hussain Sohail, Chairman of Sakina Foundation, bore this idea in mind after the residents of Tolichowki and Shaikpet lodged several complaints with the police about the nuisance caused.  He with an aim of protection in the State, donated the amount for the purchase of CCTV cameras. 

Notably, police had convinced the residents to crowdfund for the installation of CCTVs for their own benefit. The residents also pooled in as much as Rs. 32 lakhs.

Asif Hussain Sohail has been awarded for his contribution to keeping the neighborhood safe.

Mr. Sohail said, “Only in Surya Nagar colony around 175 CCTVs are been installed to make a smart and safe colony. The Sakina Foundation has started a campaign ‘Know your Neighbor Know your Colony’ in which our volunteers will educate the residents about crime prevention strategies including community building and Hyderabad City Police Anjani Kumar has promised that the same campaign will be exercised in all the police stations of the city.”

The donation came days after the Hyderabad Police updated about the reduced crime rate in the State.
