“Apart from the CCTVs, we have done lift upgrading work, replacement of lifts, and rewiring work.
“We will also continue with the repainting work,” Jagdeep said during his visit to Taman Free School on Sept 9.
It has been learned that a total of six CCTVs were installed there earlier, and the CCTV operation center is linked to the police.
