Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched the National IED Data Management System (NIDMS), a new AI-enabled digital platform developed by the National Security Guard (NSG). This system aims to centralize and analyze data on improvised explosive device (IED) incidents across India, enhancing inter-agency coordination, post-blast investigations, and the development of counter-terrorism strategies. Shah described it as a 'next-generation security shield against terror' and a 'national asset' to improve intelligence sharing and forensic evidence quality.
