The security measures for visitors attending the 'pran prathishtha' ceremony at Sri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22 have reached unprecedented levels. Undoubtedly, UP Police is relying heavily on AI to ensure smooth operations.
The police have deployed over 10,000 CCTV cameras, many of which are AI-powered. "To ensure better security arrangements at the programme venue in Ayodhya, technology is being used on a large scale. In some of these CCTV cameras, we are using AI-based technology so that we can maintain a strict vigil on the commuters,” the director general for law and order, Prashant Kumar told PTI.
These cameras have been installed in hotspots such as Kanak Bhawan, Hanuman Garhi, Shri Nageshwar Nath Mandir, Ram Ki Paidi and Ram Janmabhoomi.
