AHMEDABAD: The civic body’s mandate for builders to install CCTV cameras at large construction sites to monitor dust emissions has reached a stalemate, with builders raising concerns over privacy.

Under AMC‘s ‘Good Construction Practices’ to reduce air pollution, sites over 10,000 sq m were directed to install CCTV cameras and air quality sensor.

Cameras with a range of 20m were to be installed (at least four per site), ensuring a complete view of the site and one-month backup storage.

However, builders argue that providing live feeds breaches privacy as it would lead to monitoring of individuals at the site.

“While some have installed cameras at entry and exit points, many resisted offering live surveillance. So, the civic body has not enforced the demand for live feeds strictly. Implementation has not been possible due to privacy concerns,” said a senior AMC official, requesting anonymity.
