Nashik To Deploy AI-Based Crowd Monitoring System For Simhastha 2027

Nashik: In preparation for Simhastha Mahakumbh 2027, the Kumbh Mela Authority has decided to use modern technology for crowd management. This year, the number of 11,200 pedestrians (devotees walking on foot) can be counted per hour at the Kumbh Mela. This work will be done through AI (Artificial Intelligence) based video and analytics technology. The authority has set up a 'hi-tech' system for this, and arrangements have been made to keep a constant eye on the crowd.

Role of AI and Analytics

Kumbh Mela Authority Commissioner Shekhar Singh said, "Crowd planning and safety are of utmost importance during the Simhastha period. For this, AI-based video and analytics will be used. Advanced cameras and software will be used to count the number of 99,200 pedestrians per hour. This will enable accurate analysis of the crowd and prevent accidents or crowd overflow."
