To safeguard against children getting lost during the Kumbh Mela, the Uttar Pradesh police will be using RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags for kids under 14 years. The department has, on purpose, collaborated with Vodafone and 40,000 RFID tags have been agreed to be supplied by the telecom giant.
"Kumbh is the biggest congregation in which over 12 crore people are expected to take part over the next 50 days. With a view to ensuring that children do not get lost, we will be using RFID tags on kids under 14 years attending the Kumbh," said state Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh as reported by The Week.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
