Caught On Camera! Assam's 'Hall Of Shame' Targets Public Offenders

Assam's Tinsukia municipality has introduced a controversial 'Hall of Shame'—a giant LED screen that allegedly identifies offenders in public. The move has reignited debate over whether public humiliation is a more effective deterrent than monetary fines. Rajya Sabha MP Milind Deora has suggested Mumbai could consider a similar model, while residents remain divided.

But does naming and shaming cross the line, or could it finally change public behaviour? Watch this report to explore the growing debate over privacy, civic responsibility and the future of urban enforcement in India.
