to observe both stations' activities with a single click. Two senior officials from the North Eastern Railway headquarters have been assigned to Ramghat Halt and Katra to assist travelers. Face recognition technology-equipped CCTV cameras have been installed at Ramghat Halt and Katra stations due to the expected large crowds in Ayodhya. These cameras are linked to a specialized software that identifies potential criminals by comparing their faces against a database of known offenders. This technology is currently used at major airports like Delhi-Mumbai. A total of 16 CCTV cameras with face recognition capabilities will be installed at each station, along with a control room managed by the RPF. The control room will operate 24/7 and will receive alerts from the cameras when identified criminals enter the station premises.
