Maha Metro is introducing an AI-powered Intermediate Video Analytics System to prevent unauthorised access to Metro tracks. The decision comes after multiple security incidents, including a protest on Sunday that disrupted services for hours and a suicide last month. 

Shravan Hardikar, managing director of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha Metro), told mid-day, “To prevent such incidents, we are implementing an AI-based risk management system. Trespassing on railway tracks has always been an issue, and now, similar concerns are emerging on Metro tracks as well. The Delhi Metro has been dealing with such challenges for over a decade.”
