The Jammu and Kashmir Government for the first time, has established a digital hi-tech Command Control Centre for real-time surveillance of the Amarnath Yatra routes. This is sure to help the government manage the pilgrimage smoothly.

Amarnath Yatra is one of the toughest pilgrimages of Hindus and Jammu and Kashmir government has been working round-the-clock to make every little aspect of the yatra easy for the pilgrims. The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir had ordered setting up of the hi-tech Command Control Centre.

The Command Control Centre has around 60 people from around 20 government departments working day and night. The departments working in the Hi-tech Command Control Centre include Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, NDRF, SDRF, Health, PHE, PDD, Telecom and many others.&nbsp;

There are around 17 PTZ High Definition 360-degree view cameras placed all through the routes from base camps to the cave. Dozens of static cameras have also been placed at strategically important places from both Baltal and Chandanwari base camps.

"This integrated command control centre is a one-stop solution. We are monitoring the monitoring yatra using technology in a dynamic way. It has really helped us in making immediate decisions. For example, if there is a problem in the yatra route due to weather, we can intervene from the centre. If, God forbid, an earthquake takes place, the command centre will tell the pilgrims about the emergency number they need to call on. It will be a single-stop solution. Officials from many departments are here, be it the fire services or the army. We can take effective action in case of a disaster," said V K Bidhuri, Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir.

All the pilgrims coming for the Amarnath yatra have been provided with RFID (radio frequency identification number). This helps the authorities to monitor the location of the yatris while they take the pilgrimage from their base camps.&nbsp;

The digital Hi-tech Command Control Centre will play a very important role in identifying medical emergencies, potential disaster situations, locating missing individuals, and facilitating their recovery.&nbsp;

"There are people who come in groups, and sometimes some of them get cut off. The centre can help them even if they don't know their RFID number. We can track them with their&nbsp;Aadhaar number or name and we can track their location. RFID thus would help in ensuring the security of pilgrims. Moreover, we would come to know if anyone misbehaves. The quality of the cameras is phenomenal. The cameras are also monitored by the Amarnath shrine board, police and even Lieutenant Governor. No one can escape the responsibility, said Bidhuri.

According to the government estimate, around 80,000 pilgrims have completed the Amarnath Yatra in the first six days.&nbsp;

Jammu and Kashmir government sets up hi-tech Command Control Centre for Amarnath Yatra

According to Nariman Behravesh, chief economist of the IHS Markit, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.wionews.com/opinions/china-united-states-relations-and-the-thucydides-trap-192673&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjrp4errYjgAhWHiHAKHQmFC9EQFggFMAA&amp;client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;usg=AOvVaw38TO2KzhIprGEwYUNK6iRL">China</a> has made successful achievements in the sector of high technologies.

"They're world-class. In a lot of areas, China's really the leading, sort of, economy, in terms of a lot of high techs, so China will play a leadership role in high-tech," Behravesh said.

Many attendees at the forum have shared their similar views in this regard, as they said the world is now excited about China's fast-growing scientific and technological innovation.

"China, over the last many years, has done amazing innovations as well as contributions to the world. In terms of when you look at smartphones, when you look at BC (blockchains), servers, data centres, e-commerce, retailing, a lot of innovation that has been brought about in China," said Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron.

"Living in China, working in China, I can see the fast development of technology. First one is the artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence will change the life of everyone and change every company everywhere and in the very short term. China is on top of the topic, investing in at the forefront in artificial intelligence," said Charles-Edouard Bouee, CEO of Roland Berger.

Some businessmen said all these achievements can be attributed to China's stable development environment, a large talent pool and vibrant incentives.

"All technological revolutions come out of innovations. We should make the best use of China's system advantage. The state-owned enterprises can make more investment so as to have more money and more efforts to accomplish large undertakings. In addition, we should give full play to the privately-owned companies," said Lu Benxian, president of the China Minsheng Investment Group.

"China has the benefit of a very massive scale, not only advances happening on the technology side, but being able to develop them very quickly at large scale and learn fast, adapt fast, and improve the technology fast to ultimately lead to richer experiences for people around the world as well as for businesses," said Sanjay.

The WEF annual meeting running from Tuesday to Friday in Davos has attracted world economic leaders to discuss a wide range of topics.

Themed "Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution", the meeting is attended by over 60 heads of state or government, 40 international organization heads, and 1,700 business leaders for more than 400 seminars.

WEF attendees speak highly of Chinese hi-tech development

The prison authorities in Gujarat has planned to instal high-quality sensors in two central jails to alert officials about any underground movement and thwart bids by prisoners to escape by digging tunnels.&nbspThe move comes five years after some prisoners dug up a tunnel in the British-era Sabarmati Central Prison here.

“To foil attempts by inmates to escape by digging a tunnel, we have decided to install a ‘tunnel detection system’ in the Sabarmati central jail here and the Lajpore central jail in Surat district,” Additional Director General of Police, Prisons, T S Bisht told PTI.

“Gujarat is probably the first state in the country which is planning to implement such a system in jails,” he claimed, adding that only the Border security force (BSF) uses it as of now to detect tunnels near border areas.

The state government has allocated a budget of Rs 2.8 crore for the implementation of the project in these two jails, the official said.&nbsp As a part of the system, several sensors will be installed about three meters under the ground at regular intervals inside the jail, Bisht said.

“The sensor is capable of detecting underground vibrations and movements three metres up and down from the place where it is installed. Thus, it would cover a radius of six metres,” he said.

The sensors would transmit real-time signals on detecting any underground movement or vibrations due to the digging activity, according to the official.

“The entire web of sensors will be connected to a control room and an alarm. Apart from activating the alarm on detecting vibrations, the system would also send an SMS to the designated numbers of jail officials about the underground activity,” he said.

The system is expected to be first implemented near the ‘high-security area’ of Sabarmati jail by the end of this year, he said, adding that it would be installed in both the central prisons in Ahmedabad and Suratin a phase-wise manner.

The jail’s high-security area is the place where hardened criminals and those accused in bomb blast cases are lodged.

In March 2013, the prison authorities had found a 214-feet long tunnel inside the Sabarmati central jail.

The authorities had then alleged that the tunnel was dug up by some of the accused in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts case who were lodged in the jail.
