First Time UP Police to Use 40,000 RFID Tags to Find Lost Children
During this Kumba Mela, Up police planned to implement Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) driven Tags to trace the children under 14yrs lost during the crowd here. RFID is a form of wireless communication that incorporates the use of electro-magnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio-frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object or a person.
"Kumbh is the biggest believers crowd 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 children under 14 years attending the Kumbh," state Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh told to a report on Monday. He said for the purpose, the department has collaborated with Vodafone, which has agreed to coordinate, and 40,000 RFID tags will be used. The DGP said 15 digitally equipped modern, integrated, lost-and-found centers have been set up in the Kumbh area and these have been integrated with the district police and social media
