Mahakumbh Nagar (UP), Jan 20 (PTI) AI-powered ‘Lost and Found’ centres at the Maha Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest religious gathering, are demonstrating their efficiency by reuniting individuals, especially children, with their families.

The centre, also known as ‘Khoya- Paaya Kendra’, in Sector 4 of the fair ground recently reunited two missing children with their families using state-of-the-art technology, an official statement issued here said on Monday.

The two children, seven-year-old Dharamjeet and six-year-old Vikas Kumar, were found by the police in different areas of the Mela on January 15 and brought to the centre. Their pictures were displayed on digital platforms and TV screens in the fair area to ensure that the information reached their families quickly, the statement said.

Upon receiving the information, the families arrived at the centre. After completing the identification process, the children were handed over to their respective families.

Both the children, residents of Chainpur, were brought to the ‘Lost and Found’ centre from the Jhunsi area, the statement said.

Till Sunday, 10 ‘Lost and Found’ centres have been set up across the fair area, further enhancing the reach and efficiency of the initiative, it said.

Devotees attending the Maha Kumbh have expressed appreciation for this initiative, it added. PTI ABN ABN KVK KVK
