RTD denies that only four Awas cameras are functioning

The Road Transport Department (RTD) has refuted the report of a news portal that alleged only four Automated Awareness Safety System (Awas) cameras are working.

RTD said in a statement released last night that all 41 Awas cameras are still functioning in good condition and are in operation.

“The operation of several Awas cameras was temporarily suspended as they were involved in accidents and they involved rewiring and as well as installation,” the statement added.

The statement also announced that as of May 2019, 169,051 summonses have been issued since the Awas system was taken over by RTD.

Apart from that, RTD also denied allegations that it has no expertise to conduct the operation of the Awas camera system.

The news portal reported that only four Awas cameras are still in operation from a total of 45 units set up nationwide after RTD took over the operation since September last year.
