"The idea is to have complete CCTV coverage of the expanse, including the outer areas, and, so, we will put up more security cameras."DUAC had last year approved CPWD's plans to give the memorial a facelift, after which officials paid several visits.
Amidst the brouhaha over involvement of schoolchildren and restriction on vehicular movement during the much-touted exercise, deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Thursday quoted Mahatma Gandhi as having written in Young India, an English language weekly in 1931, "If I was appointed dictator for one hour for all India, the first thing I would do would be to close without compensation all the liquor shops."Talking to reporters during inspection of flyover projects in the state capital, Tejashwi claimed that the state government wants to spread awareness on prohibition among cross sections of the society, including children, but nobody is being asked to compulsorily participate in the human chain."Even Gandhi has said that if he would have been the dictator of the country for one hour, then he would have ordered to close all liquor shops in the country.
