Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have received a significant boost in their fight against terrorism and other criminal activities with the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This innovative technology is being used to track wanted individuals, including terrorists, their Over Ground Workers (OGWs), and other criminals.
Marking a step forward in “smart policing,” the Jammu and Kashmir Police have implemented a cutting-edge AI-based facial recognition system at the Navyug Tunnel Qazigund. This strategic location serves as the main entry and exit point for the Kashmir Valley.
The AI system, part of a wider police skill development and modernization initiative, is installed in Kulgam district of South Kashmir. This crucial route will now be monitored for individuals involved in criminal activities, including:
- Absconding terrorists
- Terrorist supporters
- Habitual offenders
- Drug peddlers
- Over Ground Workers (OGWs)
- Members of banned organizations
The deployment of this AI technology signifies a commitment to enhancing public safety and effectively combating crime in Jammu and Kashmir.
