AI, drones to check illegal mining in UP
Lucknow: To curb illegal mining and mineral transportation, Yogi govt deployed advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), drones and satellite-based monitoring systems. Demonstrating an unprecedented level of vigilance, the state blacklisted over 21,477 vehicles found involved in unlawful transportation activities. As part of this crackdown, 57 AI and IoT-enabled check gates were established across the state to monitor vehicles engaged in mining operations. These automated checkpoints, set up with the support of the transport department, utilise weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology to detect overloading of vehicles. The directorate of geology and mining is also using advanced satellite imagery and mapping tools such as Google Earth, Arc-GIS and LISS-IV data to detect illegal mining sites and identify untapped mineral zones. The department's remote sensing laboratory (PGRS lab) is preparing geological maps and monitoring approved mining leases. The use of drone technology has made it possible to measure the length, width and depth of mining areas. Volumetric analysis through drones helps accurately estimate the amount of mining done and action is taken based on these findings. Drones are also being used to analyse the volume of stored minerals and to mark out mineable areas for proper lease management. Regular inspections and tech-based monitoring improved transparency and curbed the activities of mining mafias.

Public toilets in Swachh city to get tech tonic for real time hygiene monitoring
Indore: In a significant technological upgrade, Indore city plans to transform 350 public and community toilets with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to enhance user experience and monitor water consumption and waste handling in real time. Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has launched a tender process to convert these facilities into smart spaces. The initiative aims to monitor visitor numbers, air quality, odours, water tank levels, complaints and waste management whilst incorporating public feedback. The sophisticated IoT system will monitor over 12 predetermined parameters, primarily focusing on sanitation, hygiene, and water management. The system will generate alerts to staff across hierarchical levels if issues remain unresolved within specified time frame. "We are implementing IoT across public toilets to improve hygiene standards and monitor vital parameters in real-time, enabling efficient problem resolution," said IMC additional commissioner Abhay Rajangaonkar. He said, "This will reduce water wastage, ensure timely cleaning, and minimise manual oversight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Following the tender process, implementation should commence within a month.
