Summary:

As Prayagraj prepares for the Mahakumbh Mela FY25, AI-driven technologies will assist with crowd control and devotee safety. Approximately 2,700 CCTV cameras will be deployed, with AIenabled cameras providing 24-hour surveillance and automated alerts. This initiative will complement human intelligence and enhance security. Additionally, 56 police stations will be established, 25 of which are already operational, to ensure a safe and organised Mela experience.

To safeguard the 45 crore devotees, the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is implementing a digital-first strategy. This includes AI and social media platforms like Facebook and X to strengthen crowd management and security. A 'lost-and-found facility' set to launch on December 1 will use AI cameras to monitor, identify missing persons, and digitally register their details, with facial recognition technology aiding quicker reunions via social media. This initiative aims to enhance Mela safety.
