Skyscrapers, sprawling metro networks, and modern infrastructure dominate the skylines. But some age-old civic issues\u2014like stray cattle, littering, water leakages, and unauthorized constructions\u2014continue to hamper urban life. The game-changer? Artificial Intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n<p>From detecting stray cattle on roads to fixing leaking pipelines and tracking unregistered buildings, cities across India are embracing AI in their municipal

They not only slow traffic but also pose serious accident risks. In a move that blends tradition with technology, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has deployed an AI system developed by NIT Surat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Live Video Feed Monitoring:<\/strong> Cameras installed at major traffic junctions detect cattle using an AI algorithm.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Alerting System:<\/strong> Alerts are only generated when cattle are <em>unaccompanied<\/em> by herders. These alerts include timestamps and geolocations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rapid Response:<\/strong> Once notified, ground teams impound the animals and initiate action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This effort is part of a broader policy under Gujarat\u2019s anti-stray cattle law passed in 2022. SMC has also implemented RFID tagging for cattle and levied fines on repeat offenders, recovering \u20b918.4 lakh through 1,545 detections so far.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_AI_Help_Fight_Littering_and_Spitting\"><\/span><strong>Can AI Help Fight Littering and Spitting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes\u2014and Surat is proving that too.<\/p>\n<p>Using the same AI surveillance infrastructure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>35,382 incidents<\/strong> of littering and <strong>12,120 cases<\/strong> of public spitting have been identified.<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle numbers are detected using <strong>Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)<\/strong> technology.<\/li>\n<li>Fines collected: \u20b918.4 lakh for littering and \u20b97.19 lakh for spitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This has contributed significantly to Surat\u2019s high performance in the <strong>Swachh Survekshan<\/strong> cleanliness rankings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_Pune_Using_AI_to_Cut_Water_Wastage\"><\/span><strong>How Is Pune Using AI to Cut Water Wastage?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>India\u2019s cities lose up to <strong>50% of water<\/strong> in supply due to leaks and unauthorized usage.
