Haryana DGP Calls for Improved Crowd Management After Stampede
A top police officer, O P Singh, says India needs a better plan for managing big crowds.
Old ways like fences and police batons don't work as well now because people use social media to gather quickly.
He wants a new national plan that considers event size and type, with tech like cameras and AI.
The plan also involves better teamwork between different groups and preparing ahead of time to stop problems.
Haryana DGP O P Singh emphasizes systemic planning for crowd control.
Traditional methods like barricades are increasingly ineffective.
Singh suggests a national framework based on event type and size.
Joint operation centers and better technology use are recommended.
Infrastructure and accountability are vital for improved safety.
