Concurrently, authorities in Sambhajinagar launched awareness campaigns using street plays to educate passengers on physical safety and cybercrime prevention. By early October, operational updates included the extension of special train services by Western Railway to meet passenger demand. To manage high passenger density during upcoming festivals, the Jaipur Division began deploying 20 AI-based cameras at Ringas Railway Station to provide real-time alerts to the Railway Protection Force.
