In this video, the Executive director of the Internet Freedom Foundation, Apar Gupta, talks about the illegality of the COVID-19 mass surveillance systems that BECIL India is intending to procure and the action taken by IFF. 

The tender is to procure several items out of which two drew immediate concern. The first is a "Personnel Tracking GPS Solution" implemented through a “wrist watch/I-card/App” most possibly for medical professionalS and the second item is a classic mass surveillance system under the guise of a, "Covid–19 Patient Tracking Tool". 

The Internet Freedom Foundation has sent a notice to BECIL to modify the tender. The procurement of the "Personnel Tracking GPS Solution” & the "Covid–19 Patient Tracking Tool” must stop.
