Every station experiences millions of passengers every year. A look at the seven railway stations:
Mumbai's
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus
(CST)
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is a UNESCO Heritage Site that also happens to be India's oldest and busiest railway station. You'll be amazed to know that the CST handles over 3 million passengers on a daily basis.
The station is known for its interesting Victorian Gothic structure. Now with the help of AI and modern technology, the station will have a powerful tool to identify known offenders.
New Delhi Railway Station
(NDLS)
The New Delhi Railway Station is known for handling more than 5 lakh passengers every day. The station remains overcrowded and the AI surveillance along with facial recognition will help track down potential offenders. It can also help in finding missing persons, especially during the festive seasons when the crowd is too much to handle.

‘Outwork System, Outbuild Giants': Soham Parekh's Advice For Tech Workers Amid Layoffs
Last Updated: TCS plans to lay off 12,000 employees, about 2 percent of its workforce, to realign its strategy amid evolving tech needs. Tech giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced to lay off around 12,000 employees—or roughly 2 per cent of its global workforce—over the course of the current financial year. The move is part of the company's broader effort to realign its workforce strategy and position itself as a 'future-ready" organisation, amid evolving technology and operational requirements. The industry is in shock with many criticising the move while others see it as inevitable with the rise of artificial intelligence in the sector. Meanwhile, Soham Parekh, the Indian tech professional who shot to infamy for working full-time at multiple startups simultaneously, weighed in on the layoffs news and offered advice to tech professionals. Reacting to a post that claimed 'TCS will freeze the hiring of experienced personnel and pause annual salary increases globally," Parekh advised techies to outwork the system. 'Don't wait for handouts. Learn fast. Build harder. Your skills are your leverage. Outwork the system. Outlearn the gatekeepers. Outbuild the giants," he said in a post on X. His reaction came after TCS confirmed that the layoffs will primarily affect middle and senior management positions. The company stated that rehiring for these roles would not be feasible. 'Several reskilling and redeployment programs have been in progress. However, some associates will be released as their roles cannot be restructured to match future demands," TCS said in its official statement. The decision, which marks one of the largest retrenchment drives in TCS's history, comes amid multiple structural challenges — ranging from margin pressures and skill mismatches to disruption from artificial intelligence (AI). TCS currently employs over 6.13 lakh people. Who Is Soham Parekh? Soham Parekh, an Indian software engineer based in Mumbai, made the headlines after he was publicly accused by Suhail Doshi, co-founder of Playground AI and former Mixpanel CEO, of secretly working full-time at 3–4 US-based startups simultaneously, including Y Combinator‑backed firms such as Dynamo AI and Synthesia. Parekh admitted to this in an interview, explaining that dire financial hardship forced him into the arrangement and that he often worked 140-hour weeks. While some praised his technical skill, most expressed concern over the ethical breach. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
