These 8 pilgrim sites to get such a technological boost are Ambaji, Pavagadh, Bahucharaji, Mata no Madh-Kutch, Dwarka, Somnath and Shamlaji. A survey is being conducted to recognise locations to set up Wifi connectivity hubs in the pilgrim places. These hubs would be recognised by the number of pilgrims gathering at a particular place. Alongside, a private company is conducting a survey to locate the spots for placing the CCTV cameras at the holy sites. These cameras would have night vision, HD Quality and would give a complete 360-degree view, capturing any ill elements at the pilgrim sites.
