Description
As vast crowds of Hindu pilgrims in India bathe in sacred waters with the opening of the Kumbh Mela festival where around 400 million people are expected, many participants lose sight of their relatives. Organising authorities have launched a phone application "offering multilingual AI voice assistance", as well as a network of "Lost and Found" centres to help pilgrims reunite with their families. Local charities have also set up shelter camps for people who have gone missing. "We make announcements for the people lost and we take care of them till someone comes looking for them," says volunteer Lata Singh.
