Indian Railways' war room uses AI and CCTV to manage Diwali and Chhath Puja rush

Indian Railways has set up a central war room that relies on artificial intelligence and CCTV surveillance to monitor passenger crowds during the Diwali and Chhath Puja travel peaks. The system helps officials track station congestion in real time and coordinate responses to crowd build-up. Analytics from camera feeds allow staff to anticipate bottlenecks and redirect movement before situations escalate. The approach aims to improve safety and smooth passenger flow during these high-demand festival periods.
