Matrix secured Nashik railway station during Kumbh Mela

Kumbh Mela is one of the most sacred pilgrimage festivals of India and is organised at a grand scale at Nashik, Haridwar, Ujjain and Prayag.

As Kumbh Mela is being celebrated after a period of 12 years in Nashik, 100 million people are expected to visit, security is a major concern for the Government bodies.

Nashik will be getting an opportunity to host these guests from July 14 to September 25 and no stone will be left unturned in hosting the massive gathering.

Challenges

Nashik Railway Station authorities wanted video surveillance devices that would not consume larger areas when it comes to installing them as the railway station had congested platforms.

Moreover, they wanted a surveillance solution that gave them superior image quality and at the same time did not consume heavily on the bandwidth.

Furthermore, the authorities wanted to monitor the whole place centrally and gain central control of the entire place.
