MP Karandlaje urges govt to stop issuing Maharashtra-Udupi travel passes
Udupi: BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje on Friday asserted that she has urged the Chief Secretary to the Government of Karnataka to stop issuing online passes to people from Maharashtra to travel to Udupi.
“Despite the Corona surge in Udupi district, we have received online pass applications from Maharashtra people seeking to travel. Also, 281 people have come to the district using the passes. The people of the district are panicking on account of this,” the Parliamentarian said, addressing a press conference at the BJP district office in Udupi.
“Most of the Corona-infected people in Udupi district have come from Maharashtra. Although they are under quarantine, we are not sure how many people are infected by coming in contact with them. There is a need to prevent the spread of the infection to the residents with other health problems,” said Karandlaje.
She pointed out that the number of people who came to Udupi from Maharashtra had reduced greatly over the last week.
“There is, however, a need to follow the orders of the Supreme Court. As per the MHI guidelines, we cannot prevent people from coming to the district. There is also a shortage of beds and quarantine centers in the district. I, therefore, request the people in Maharashtra not to come to Udupi district,” said the MP.
She said that the people who attended the Tablighi convention have spread the virus in the slums of Bengaluru as well as Padarayanapura and Sadiq Layout purposefully. “The people who attended the Tablighi convention have implemented a plan to spread the virus. The Central and state governments should undertake a thorough investigation into the matter” she demanded.
Speaking on development work, the MP said that a proposal has been submitted for the construction of 119 km of road in Udupi and 203 km in Chikkamagaluru district under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
The district has distributed 94% of the ration given by the government in the backdrop of the lockdown.
BJP District President Suresh Nayak, legislator Lalaji R Mendon, Zilla Panchayat President Dinakar Babu, Karavali Development Board President Mattaru Rathnakar Hegde and local leaders Uday Kumar Shetty, Mahesh Thakur, and Kuthyaru Naveen Shetty were present at the press conference.

How Indian AI Is Booming with GEOX AI Leading the Next Wave of Geolocation Intelligence
TraceX Labs has announced the launch of GEOX AI, an advanced artificial intelligence platform capable of identifying the real-world location where a photograph or video was taken using only the visual content within the media.
Positioned as an enterprise-grade intelligence solution, GEOX AI leverages advanced computer vision and multi-agent AI to analyze pixel-level details such as architecture, road patterns, vegetation, signage, lighting, and environmental context. By interpreting these visual clues, the system can estimate—and in many cases precisely determine—the origin of an image or video.
AI-Powered Geolocation Intelligence
Marketed under the concept of “Locate Anywhere From Any Image,” GEOX AI is designed for intelligence operations where speed, accuracy, and reliability are critical. The platform currently supports:
- 400+ analyses available
- <10 seconds average response time
- Up to 99% accuracy on landmark-based identification
- Global coverage across diverse terrains and environments
Core Capabilities
GEOX AI integrates multiple intelligence features into a single platform:
- Precise Geolocation:
Identifies exact geographic coordinates using visual landmarks, architecture, vegetation, and cultural indicators. - Satellite Map View:
Results are plotted on live satellite imagery with 2D/3D viewing options and multiple map styles for deeper analysis. - AI Reasoning Analysis:
Provides a detailed explanation of how the system arrived at a conclusion, including confidence scoring. - Multi-Result Analysis:
Returns multiple possible locations ranked by confidence, enabling cross-verification. - Intelligence PDF Export:
Allows one-click generation of professional reports containing maps, coordinates, analysis, and structured findings. - Credit-Based Access:
Agencies are allocated credits, with each analysis consuming one credit. Additional credits can be requested directly.
Speed Meets Intelligence
GEOX AI is designed to balance rapid processing with analytical depth:
- Fast Mode: Delivers results within seconds for clear and high-context images
- Advanced Mode: Performs deeper multi-step analysis for complex or ambiguous visuals
- Built for real-time decision-making in high-pressure environments
How GEOX AI Works
The platform follows a simple and efficient workflow:
- Upload any image or video frame
- AI analyzes visual clues such as structures, terrain, and environment
- The system identifies location with coordinates, confidence score, and reasoning
- Results are displayed on an interactive satellite map
- Export a professional intelligence report in one click
A Breakthrough for Investigations
GEOX AI is expected to have wide-ranging applications across multiple domains:
- Tracking the origin of images from social media and open sources
- Supporting digital forensics and cyber investigations
- Assisting law enforcement and intelligence operations
- Helping journalists and OSINT analysts verify visual content
- Providing support in missing person cases and threat intelligence scenarios
Enterprise Access and Deployment
GEOX AI is available to verified law enforcement agencies, intelligence organizations, and authorized enterprises. Access is provided through a structured system where organizations can request credentials and define their operational use cases.
Interested users can request access via tracexlabs.com or contact contact@tracexlabs.com, with response times typically within 24–48 hours.
Privacy Debate Intensifies
The launch of GEOX AI has also sparked renewed discussion around digital privacy. By demonstrating how location data can be extracted purely from visible elements within images, the platform highlights the potential risks associated with sharing photos online without considering what those visuals may reveal.
Conclusion
With GEOX AI, TraceX Labs is entering the rapidly evolving geolocation intelligence space with a platform that combines speed, precision, and real-world usability. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, tools like GEOX AI are expected to play a critical role in shaping the future of investigations, security, and digital intelligence.
