Jammu and Kashmirs Kishtwar district has high-focus CCTV cameras installed that have an AI powered integrated facial recognition system

The Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir has police installed high-focus closed-circuit television cameras equipped with an artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition system. Officials claim that the cameras may be used to swiftly identify the movements of criminals, militants, and overground members of militant organisations.

The technology was created by a company located in Chennai and is now deployed in Thathri, which is the point where the Doda district meets the Kishtwar district. According to Kishtwar Senior Superintendent of Police Khalil Poswal, it would soon be duplicated at Margon Top and Sinthan Top, the two additional access points to the steep district from Anantnag in South Kashmir.

More significantly, ISRO is in talks to create a shared interface between the Indian space station and those of NASA and the European Space Agency. According to Somanath, this link will enable collaborative work, suggesting that these nations may operate together aboard the space station.

The existing International Space Station is scheduled to be de-orbited in 2030 after being constructed in cooperation with many nations. According to him, the Indian module would be able to dock with the ISS thanks to the same interface.

In the Union Territory, police have already placed CCTV cameras in a number of public areas. Officers then manually search through the recorded film to find any movements by militants. Authorities stated that the new technology may automatically attempt to match faces seen in CCTV footage with a database that contains photos of terrorists, out-of-group individuals, and criminals.

Poswal said that after seeing an Israeli booth at a New Delhi exhibition, he was inspired to integrate AI-powered facial recognition technology into CCTV cameras. When a vehicle passes through an area where the system has been deployed, high focus cameras may automatically screen the faces of the occupants and sound an alarm for the police if any of the faces match any database-stored photographs.

Poswal claims that even if a person is wearing a mask, these cameras can still match the image with the database.
