Description[ ]
At least 300 new cameras have been installed in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir this year, according to a regional newspaper. The police have claimed that facial recognition technology (FRT) will assist in “preempting and preventing attacks” on the forces’ personnel by militants. 1
