Digital Geo-Tagging Ensures Pilgrim Safety During Brahmotsavams
Imagine a big festival with lots of people, like the Brahmotsavams!
To help keep everyone safe, especially kids and older folks, the police are using a cool tool called digital geo-tagging.
It's like giving people a special tracking tag so if they get lost, the police can quickly find them.
The police set up special spots at the train station, bus station, and other places to help pilgrims.
On the first day, they helped reunite seven people with their families!
People are happy because it makes the festival safer and easier for everyone.

Geo-tagging counters are at Tirupati railway station and bus stand.
