Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurates IED data management system

New Delhi: Launching the national IED data management system through a video conferencing link, Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday said that the two-way comprehensive and integrated online platform will be available to National Investigation Agency, anti-terrorism squads, state police forces and central armed police forces.

Shah said that data related to any explosion or IED incident can be included in this system. "By utilising this data, necessary guidance can be obtained during investigations in every state. He said that NIDMS will prove extremely important in investigating terrorist activities, understanding trends in explosions and formulating effective strategies against them."

Shah said that the database available with NSG contains data related to all bomb explosions since 1999. He said that through NIDMS, this data will now be made available to police forces across the country and relevant agencies. NIDMS will become a robust platform for accurately analysing the patterns of bomb explosions that have occurred so far, the modus operandi and the explosives used. Shah said that it will provide significant help in establishing inter-linkages between incidents - based on the modus operandi and circuit methods - as well as in understanding overall trends and insights.


Shah said NIDMS is a secure national digital platform through which accurate and organised analysis of explosion-related incidents can be conducted. This platform will strengthen the process of collecting, standardising, integrating and securely sharing IED-related data.
