Smart Surveillance Takes Over Sri Anandpur Sahib as the district police activate an advanced, technology-driven security grid for the historic Gurpurab celebrations. The first paragraph repeats the key phrase and sets the tone for the event.
Rupnagar SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana said the security plan uses modern tools to manage the massive inflow of devotees for the 350th Martyrdom Anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. He said the city now runs a central command centre that controls monitoring and coordination across Sri Anandpur Sahib. The hub links all digital systems through a single platform.
The police have installed 300 AI-enabled facial recognition cameras, 10 PTZ cameras for dynamic tracking and 25 ANPR cameras at all entry and exit points. Seven drone teams fly continuous aerial rounds to strengthen the digital shield.
The holy city has been divided into 25 security sectors. Each sector runs its own help desk and sub-control room. All units send real-time video and intelligence to the main command centre.
For traffic and crowd movement, the police worked with IIT Ropar to add real-time digital mapping of all parking areas. The system shows live occupancy and guides devotees to avoid congestion. Shuttle buses run day and night to connect parking zones, venues and tent cities. SSP Khurana said officers will work with sensitivity and devotion throughout the event.
