Ujjain Police's Smart Google Maps Hack Solves Mahakal Temple Traffic Chaos

• Mahakal Temple in Ujjain sees 1.5-2 lakh devotees daily since December 25, causing massive traffic.
• Thousands of private vehicles, up to 12,000 on holidays, led to severe congestion on city roads.
• Devotees using Google Maps were directed to narrow internal roads, exacerbating traffic jams.
• Ujjain Police, with IT experts, innovatively modified Google Maps for crowd management.
• Jammed routes are dynamically removed from Google Maps, showing only police-designated alternative routes, outer ring roads, and parking.

Why It Matters: Ujjain Police used Google Maps dynamically to reroute traffic, ensuring smooth darshan for Mahakal devotees.
