💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra government's directive requiring AI-based CCTV systems in hospitality establishments has been objected to by the Hotel and Restaurant Association (Western India). The association cites privacy concerns and cost as reasons for their opposition, claiming the order is unreasonable and excessive without proven efficacy for public safety. They suggest alternative security measures and express concern about potential breaches of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
