Goa police's ‘radical content analyser' to curb extremist blitz

Panaji:
Goa police on Tuesday started monitoring online and offline content using the 'radical content analyser' to tackle extremist propaganda. Videos lasting up to 25 minutes will be subject to such monitoring too.
Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that Union home minister Amit Shah wants the radical content analyser, developed in Goa, to be used across the country.
Goa police, in collaboration with BITS Pilani Goa, developed two AI-based policing tools — Spot the Scam (online fraud detection), and the radical content analyser. Sawant launched the AI-based policing tools.
Sawant said that when Goa police gave a presentation to Shah, he was impressed and said that such AI policing tools should be used nationwide.
The CM said that technology tools used for policing will help Goa police maintain law and order.
Sawant noted that criminals are using advanced tools to commit crimes, and it is necessary to deploy sophisticated tools to crack the cases.
The radical content analyser has the capability to monitor radicalisation content — both online and offline.
Apart from Spot the Scam and the radical content analyser, Goa police have started using several other electronic tools such as Cyber Yoddha, AI-ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) Lab, QuickPass, and TRACK (Traffic Response and Congestion Control Centre).

Other policing tools include the tenant-domestic help verification app, the cloud-based 1930 cybercrime helpline centre, and the QR code-based public feedback system.
These tools help police improve their operational capabilities and connect with people.
The radical content analyser was conceived during Hackathon 2024, organised by Goa police, to counter online radicalisation and prevent extremist propaganda on the recommendation emerging from the DG/IG conference, 2023.
An MoU with BITS Pilani Goa was signed to develop the tool.
A police officer said that the QR-based initiative of Goa police aims to enhance traffic-rules compliance and reduce inconvenience to road users through technology-driven enforcement.
This was developed by students of Padre Conceicao College of Engineering during Hackathon 2024.
A cloud call centre for the 1930 cybercrime helpline is being developed at the AI-ML Lab. It is a cloud-based call-handling system for the cybercrime helpline to handle calls from citizens.
'It allows the handling of large volumes of calls, real-time monitoring, and call conferencing during a cyber distress call,' police said.

Roads connecting Nashik to be upgraded ahead of Simhastha Kumbh: Fadnavis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said all roads leading to Nashik will be upgraded ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, which will begin on October 31 next year. A high-level meeting concerning the highways connecting Nashik was held in the presence of Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, a release from the Chief Minister's Office said on Sunday. Considering the large number of devotees and the need for traffic management during the mega congregation in Nashik, Gadkari has given in-principle approval for the development and construction of necessary road infrastructure through his ministry, it said. The Simhastha Kumbh Mela will begin on October 31, 2026, with Dhwajarohan' (flag hoisting) at Trimbakeshwar and Ramkund in Nashik. The flag will be taken down on July 24, 2028, marking the conclusion of the event, which is held once every 12 years. Citing the growing faith of devotees and expected rise in footfall during the Kumbh Mela, Fadnavis had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi for central support to boost road infrastructure, the release said. Accordingly, a high-level meeting was held at the CM's Office in Nagpur in the presence of Gadkari and state senior officials, and these decisions were taken, it said. Nashik is connected by eight major routes, including from Mumbai, Palghar, Pune, Ahilyanagar, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dhule and neighbouring Gujarat state. While these roads will play a crucial role during the Kumbh Mela, internal roads in and around Nashik that connect to national highways were also discussed in the meeting. Gadkari has given in-principle approval to nearly all proposed roads, and it was decided that the required funds to complete the work would be provided soon, the CMO said. Fadnavis said the expected surge in traffic during Kumbh will be managed effectively through an expanded road network, ensuring safer travel for devotees. Approval was granted for the Nashik Ring Road, and a decision was made to widen the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar road into a six-lane highway, the release said. To ensure smooth traffic within Nashik, it has been decided to enhance the infrastructure at Dwarka Circle. Like the Kalamboli junction in Navi Mumbai, Nashik's Dwarka Circle will be developed in two phases, one before Kumbh and the other after the event, the release added.

INS Tamal, last Indian warship built abroad, to be commissioned in Russia on July 1

NEW DELHI: The last Indian warship to be built abroad, a 3,900 tonne multi-role stealth frigate packed with sensors and weapons like BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, will be commissioned as INS Tamal in Russia on July 1. The Navy currently has 59 warships and vessels under construction in Indian shipyards at an overall cost of around Rs 1.2 lakh crore to add to its expanding blue-water combat capabilities. It also has the initial approval or 'acceptance of necessity (AoN)' for indigenous construction of another 31 warships, including big projects for nine diesel-electric submarines, seven new-generation frigates and eight anti-submarine warfare corvettes. "The force has fully transformed from a 'Buyer's Navy' to a 'Builder's Navy' over the years. There is no plan for an Indian warship to be constructed abroad in future," a officer told TOI. The Navy, which currently has 140 warships and submarines along with over 250 aircraft and helicopters, plans to expand to around 180 warships and 350 aircraft and helicopters by 2030. This is crucial for tackling the rapidly-growing maritime collusiveness between Pakistan and China, which has the world's largest Navy with 370 warships but is currently constrained by the 'tyranny of logistics' in the Indian Ocean Region. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The 125-metre long INS Tamal, with extended endurance, a top speed of over 30 knots and a crew of 250 sailors, will be commissioned at a ceremony presided over by Western Naval Command chief Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh in Kaliningrad. India in Oct 2018 had inked an umbrella agreement with Russia for four upgraded Krivak-III class frigates, with the first two to be imported for around Rs 8,000 crore. The other two, Triput and Tavasya, in turn, are being built at the Goa shipyard with transfer of technology at an overall cost of around Rs 13,000 crore. The first frigate, INS Tushil, reached her home port of Karwar from Russia in Feb. These four new warships will add to the six such Russian frigates, 3 Talwar-class and 3 Teg-class warships, already inducted from 2003-2004 onwards. Designed for blue-water operations across the spectrum of naval warfare in four dimensions of air, surface, underwater and electromagnetic, these frigates are armed with a wide array of advanced weapon systems. "INS Tamal has significant upgrades over her predecessors, punching well above her weight," an officer said. Besides BrahMos missiles, the frigate has Shtil vertical launched surface-to-air missiles, an improved A190-01 100mm gun and a new age electro-optical/infrared Sandal V system. She is also equipped with a 30mm close-in weapon system, heavyweight torpedoes, urgent attack anti-submarine rockets, apart from various surveillance and fire control radars and systems.
