India’s war on terror is getting a high-tech upgrade, with Home Minister Amit Shah designating the National Integrated Database of Missing and Suspected Persons (NIDMS) as the ultimate next-generation security shield. In his keynote at a security summit, Shah detailed how this platform will revolutionize threat detection and neutralization.
Boasting 25 million+ records already, NIDMS will incorporate neural networks for anomaly detection and voice biometrics for undercover operations. ‘Terror modules will be dismantled at the planning stage,’ Shah promised, citing pilot successes in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra where 40+ plots were foiled.
The minister outlined a three-pillar strategy: universal police station connectivity, AI-driven risk scoring, and panic-button integration for citizens. Rs 2,000 crore from the Nirbhaya Fund will bankroll citizen safety features within NIDMS.
Shah lambasted past fragmented approaches, insisting on a ‘one nation, one database’ mantra. International cooperation with Interpol and FATF will plug cross-border loopholes.
As radicalization spreads online, NIDMS’s web-crawling bots will identify early radicalization signals. Experts predict this could prevent another 26/11-scale tragedy. Shah’s resolute leadership signals zero tolerance—terrorists, your days of anonymity are numbered.
