For the first time, the Jharkhand government will use artificial intelligence, AI-based technologies and tools for crowd management at the Shrawan Mela beginning 22nd of this month in Deoghar. State Director General of Police Ajay Kumar Singh has directed the police department to embrace the technology for the mega event.
Mr Singh said that the real-time information about devotees will be known using this technology. The DGP said the machinery will also know the number of devotees and the line of devotees waiting for puja. During the month-long Shravan Mela millions of devotees from various parts of the country fetch water from the river Ganga at Sultanganj in Bihar and walk around 105 km to reach Babadham at Deoghar in Jharkhand to offer it to Lord Shiva.
