On Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that parents will be given access to see their children studying in class as he reviewed the progress of installation of CCTV cameras in government schools.
While many hailed the decision as a step towards ensuring safety of children in the school premises, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap slammed his decision and said it's like 'end of the f***ing world. Mukkabaaz director took to Twitter and wrote, " CCTV cameras in school so parents can keep a check on their children. Each one is hell bent on outdoing the other. "

Actor Karanvir Sharma who will be seen in Alt Balaji series 'Haq Se' compared it to 'Bigg Boss', some even compared it Jim Carrey's movie 'Truman Show' where the lead actor figures out his entire life is a reality TV show. So even when Twitterati tried explaining that CCTV cameras will help us track down criminal activities against school children. He went on to tweet, " by that logic there should be CCTV cameras everywhere,. including the bedrooms and the toilets because something or the other always goes wrong there. Let's just live under cameras, attach one on ourselves and let others keep an eye on us. That will solve everything."
