About 40 CCTV’s were installed in the twin cities of Bokaro and Chas to curb the crime but all seems to be worthless, said Harry a businessman at the city-based market. Police failed to get any clue as CCTV cameras failed to take the shot or some of them were not properly installed or some are defunct, he said.
