Got downvoted for calling out the authorities blabbering about solving this issue with "AI".
The deaths each tine are not because of incorrect prediction. They are because of lack of infrastructure.
It wasn't so long ago that ai meant ml and that could absolutely be applicable to flow and congestion simulation and infrastructure design.
No amount of infrastructure could hold 400 million people in such a confined space. Stampede will happen. I have never seen our authorities have any kind of protocols when it comes to crowd management, it also doesn't help that the politicians encourage people to go the there.
A conclusion of the system could be "too much. No. "
Kumbh Mela deaths:
- 1820 = 430 deaths, 1000+ injured
- 1840 = 50+ deaths, 100+ injured
- 1906 = 50+ deaths, 100+ injured
- 1954 = 800-1000 deaths
- 1986 = 200+ deaths
- 2003 = 39+ deaths, 100+ injured
- 2010 = 7 deaths, 17 injured
- 2013 = 42 deaths, 45 injured
- 2025 = 39+ deaths, 200+ injured

God’s will.
The only place i would agree with you.
You go for god you accept what god gives you.
If this is the only place you would agree with me, you must be a maga Nazi. Otherwise, we have more in common that you’d like to admit.
I shud explain
This is the only place where I would agree that We can blame god. For I don't think god exists. But if you go for a god then you shud accept what it doles out.
I don't know you, and you don't know me. Maybe we have much more things in common than this. Maybe we won't see eye to on other stuff. So I dont assume a label for you I do expect the same from you.
You directly slapped the GIP (generic internet person) label on me and then respond with a pseudo intellectual self-own.
