The Chandigarh Administration, in its endeavour to make the city secure and safe for tourists and visitors, recently convened a meeting for Security Requirements at hotels (both public and private sector) in the city. The meeting was chaired by Ram Niwas, Home Secretary-cum-Secretary Tourism, Chandigarh.

Major decisions in the meeting included CCTV cameras to be installed at the entry, exit, reception, underground parking and front parking; record of at least one month of CCTV camera footage to be maintained; identity proof must be produced by every customer during check in and proper checking and luggage examination must be done by hand held metal detectors. It was decided that if any individual brings weapons along, the license number will be noted by staff. A decision was also taken to use telephone equipment with Caller ID to avoid hoax calls and to trace the phone from which the call was made. In the meeting, Niwas decided to initiate random checks in hotels from January 20, 2009. Till then, all suggestions and decisions taken up during the meeting must be incorporated by all hotels.
