Dedicated command centres with a strong network of CCTV cameras, integrated with motion sensors and facial recognition software covering the entire Ram temple and other important locations, have been installed in Ayodhya.
The red zone, which will have the strictest security parameters in place, will have 250 AI-based high-resolution cameras covering the entire stretch of Ram temple.
Another 319-facial reading-based CCTV cameras have been installed in yellow zone that covers Parikrama area, Ram Path and Hanuman Garhi.
These zones have separate command control centres.
Another centre has been made for keeping vigil on the river area.
The area of Ram Janmabhoomi will also have physical security as well as anti-drone measures to detect movement of aerial objects during the ceremony.
A dedicated team of cops have been deployed while experts roped in for dealing with technical glitches.
Additional DG, Lucknow zone, Piyush Mordia, said: "Inspired by advanced systems in Japan and the US, Ayodhya has been blanketed with a robust network of high-tech CCTV cameras, offering unparalleled vigilance. This system is further bolstered by three distinct command centres.”
The ADG added the command centres are for the red, yellow zones and area near Saryu ghats.
The area of Ram Janmabhoomi will have tethered drones along with anti-drone measures.
Mordia said tethered drones are anchored to the ground, offering extended flight times, and reducing risk of error.
