Jaipur railway stations are set to receive AI-enabled CCTV surveillance as North Western Railway begins installing cameras at eight stations in Jaipur Division to improve passenger safety, detect track trespassing and enable faster responses to suspicious activity. The installation is expected to be completed within the next couple of months, railway officials said.
The stations covered by the initiative are Jaipur Junction, Gandhinagar Jaipur, Sanganer, Alwar, Rewari, Bandikui, Ringas and Kishangarh. The system will send alerts to railway control rooms when it detects incidents such as unauthorised entry into restricted areas or people entering railway tracks.
North Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Amit Sudarshan said the project was intended to make safety and security the priority at stations with significant passenger movement. He said the cameras would help identify track trespassing, with each such incident triggering an alert to the control room.
According to railway officials, the AI-based video analytics will monitor passenger movement and identify activities that could pose security risks. The surveillance system is also expected to detect unattended objects, incidents involving passengers near platforms and attempts to tamper with the cameras or other surveillance equipment.
The system is designed to support station staff by identifying specific incidents and generating alerts for railway personnel. Officials said alerts reaching the control room would allow railway authorities to coordinate with station staff and other personnel in responding to potential violations or threats.
Track trespassing is a particular focus of the project because unauthorised entry onto railway tracks can put lives at risk and disrupt train operations. The cameras are expected to help railway personnel identify such activity more quickly than conventional monitoring alone.
The initiative will also cover surveillance of restricted areas and passenger zones. Officials said the technology would help monitor movement across stations, identify suspicious activity and support quicker action when a potential security threat is detected.
The installation work has already begun across the eight identified stations. Railway authorities expect the project to be completed within the next couple of months, after which the AI-enabled surveillance system will be used to strengthen security monitoring and response coordination at the stations.
