Only 16 of the DDA’s 736 parks (about 2%) have functioning CCTV surveillance, according to the audit.
## Risk Classification System
The DDA classified 190 parks as high risk, 258 as medium risk and 288 as low risk for security concerns.

231 of 520 parks requiring additional lighting have been taken up for immediate provision, while 323 parks need CCTV installation.

163 parks have access-security problems where gates cannot be locked, and 233 of 399 parks with boundary vulnerabilities had missing grille work repaired.
## Incident Prompted Audit
Delhi’s L-G Taranjit Singh Sandhu ordered the review after the alleged gang-rape of a 17-year-old girl at Aastha Kunj Park on September 21.
