2,751 CCTV cameras, including 328 AI-enabled ones, and advanced AI-powered analytics are deployed at key locations to improve surveillance.

As the Maha Kumbh begins in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, with four crore devotees set to take a holy dip on January 13-14, a seven-ring security plan has turned the mela area into a fortress for pilgrim safety.

The mela has begun, with authorities expecting around 1 crore devotees to visit the area on Paush Purnima (January 13) and an estimated 3 crore people to take a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (January 14).
