According to Atishi’s Parents, Afzal was innocent and he was implicated in a political conspiracy. Furthermore, Swati stated that Atishi Marlena is just a ‘Dummy CM’, yet this issue is related to the security of the country. May God protect Delhi!

    Earlier Swati Maliwal registered a case on Bibhav Kumar a personal assistant to Arvind Kejriwal.

    Swati Maliwal Posted on X regarding Atishi

    Former MLA of Aam Aadmi Party and now Vice President of the Delhi BJP Kapil Mishra said that Atishi’s family had tried to stop the hanging of terrorist Afzal. Moreover, Kejriwal is sinning imposing a Naxalite mentality on Delhi through the backdoor. Today Aam Aadmi Party is choosing a CM who never had any connection with the Anna movement and India Against Corruption. The people of Delhi will never accept a Naxalite Communist Chief Minister. Other Leaders of the BJP also stated against Atishi.

    Delhi Police received a call from Swati Maliwal

    Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has accused CM Arvind Kejriwal’s secretary (PA) Bibhav Kumar of allegedly assaulting her. It is being told that Swati has called Delhi Police. When the police team reached Delhi CM Kejriwal’s house Swati left CM’s house and reached the police station.

    It is well known that Kejriwal and Swati Maliwal are old friends, very close and trusted colleagues. After Kejriwal was released from jail, Swati went to his home to meet him. However, Kejriwal’s PA slapped Swati. Therefore, it is a big deal for Kejriwal’s PA to attack him. What could be the possible reasons? Raising big questions about the reason. Is there some family reason?

    In this matter, the Bharatiya Janata Party has attacked CM Kejriwal.

    BJP National Secretary, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has launched a scathing attack on Kejriwal, accusing him of ordering the beating of AAP’s female Rajya Sabha MP, Swati Maliwal. According to Sirsa, there is sensational news coming from Arvind Kejriwal’s house that suggests that he instructed his PA, Vibhav, to arrange for Maliwal to be physically assaulted.

    Delhi State President of the BJP Virendra Sachdeva posted on X. He said that the information is being received that Swati Maliwal was attacked at the behest of Kejriwal because Swati was asking Kejriwal some such questions which he did not want to answer. Kejriwal who talks about women’s safety, even his female MPs are not safe from him. I strongly condemn this attack on a female MP.

    How AI will help to manage Delhi airport

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way airports are managed, making them more efficient, secure, and passenger-friendly. For your information Delhi airport operates around 1,500 flights daily. Here are some specific examples of how AI will be used to improve Delhi airport operations.

    Passenger flow management

    AI can be used to analyze passenger data to predict foot traffic patterns and identify potential bottlenecks. This information can then be used to optimize staffing levels, signage, and queue management systems to reduce congestion and improve passenger flow.

    Virtual queuing

    AI-powered virtual queuing systems can allow passengers to reserve their place in line for security checkpoints, baggage check-in, and other airport services. This can help to reduce waiting times and improve the overall passenger experience.

    Biometric boarding

    AI can power biometric boarding systems that use facial recognition or other biometric identifiers to verify passenger identities and authorize boarding. Certainly, this can help to speed up the boarding process and reduce the need for manual checks.

    AI bag scanning

    AI-powered screening systems can automatically analyze X-ray images of baggage to identify potential threats, such as weapons or explosives. This can help to improve security and reduce the need for manual inspections.

    Predictive maintenance

    AI can be used to analyze data from airport infrastructure, such as baggage handling systems and aircraft maintenance records, to predict when equipment is likely to fail. This information can then be used to schedule preventive maintenance, which can help to reduce downtime and improve the overall reliability of airport operations.

    Safety and Security

    AI can be used to monitor and analyze data from security cameras, sensors, and other sources to identify potential security threats. Altogether, this information will be used to alert security personnel and take appropriate action.

    Customer service

    Passengers can receive flight information, answers to questions, and issue resolution from AI chatbots and virtual assistants. Additionally, it will improve the customer service experience and reduce the burden on human representatives.

    Sum Up

    Overall, AI has the potential to make a significant positive impact on the way airports are managed. Moreover, AI will enhance efficiency, security, and passenger experience at Delhi Airport.
