Mumbai Police Deploy AI for Anant Chaturdashi Security

Mumbai Police are enhancing security for Anant Chaturdashi using advanced technology. AI-powered cameras will monitor procession routes, providing real-time updates and flagging potential criminal elements. Facial recognition technology will be employed to identify repeat offenders.

On Friday, more than 22,000 police personnel, including specialized units, will be on duty. To manage the expected 7,000 to 9,000 Ganpati idols for immersion, significant traffic management measures will be implemented. These include making 20 roads one-way and closing 84 others, with designated diversions.

Lifeguards and public address systems will be present at major immersion points like Girgaum Chowpatty, Juhu, and Versova. Drones will survey key locations, and missing person teams will operate in crowded areas. The safety of women is a priority, with female officers deployed both in uniform and plainclothes.
