PRAYAGRAJ (Uttar Pradesh): In view of the massive influx of pilgrims attending Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, the administration has established an AI-based computerized lost and found centre.
Sharing details about the centre, Additional Mela Adhikari Vivek Chaturvedi said, “An AI-based lost and found centre has been set up. Arrangements are made there for accommodation, clothes and food for the people who are lost… There has not been a single case in which we have not been able to reunite children or lost people with their relatives. We have received a good response from the computerised lost and found centre… If there is a case in which we have not been able to reunite a person with his relatives, then the administration takes them to their home at its own expense.”
