Vodafone India today announced a first of its kind initiative in association with the Kerala Police, to ensure a safe and worry-free spiritual experience for lakhs of pilgrims visiting Sabarimala during the 2017-18 Mandalam / Makara Vilakku season.
All children under 14 years of age will stay protected with Vodafone RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags that will be hung on their neck at Pamba, ensuring their movements and location can be tracked till the time they return to Pamba from Sannidhanam. This initiative will help prevent incidents of children getting lost during the annual Sabarimala yatra and free up the Kerala Police force time and efforts to focus on more important tasks on hand.
