Vijayan further directed the authorities concerned to set up security cameras at casualty and outpatient departments in both public and private hospitals and connected to the police aid posts.

Another direction that was given was to recruit ex-servicemen for posting in the casualty and OP departments besides at Medical College Hospitals, the security should be managed by a Chief Security officer of the state-run State Industrial Security Force.
