Puri: For better crowd management at Jagannath Temple in Puri, the district administration has decided to use artificial intelligence technology.
Collector Siddharth Shankar Swain said AI will also help in augmenting the temple security.
“Video footage and related data will be collected digitally and analysed using AI. This will improve the crowd management capability and enhance temple security,” said Swain.
According to sources, CCTV cameras will be installed at 14 vantage points on the temple premises as a part of this initiative. Mobiles and other restricted items can also be detected with the help of this technology.
The CCTVs would be installed in key locations such as the Anand Bazaar, Chakada, Gumuta, the four gates of the temple, and Saata Pahacha (seven stairs).
The temple managing committee has also decided to launch a mobile app for devotees to pay obeisance to deities in a hassle-free manner. The app will be quite helpful in getting information about traffic movement, parking locations, etc, sources added.
