Delhi Police unveils emblems for Finger Print Bureau, bomb squad
Delhi Police unveiled emblems for two of its key units, the Finger Print Bureau (FPB) and Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), at an event at the police headquarters on Thursday. Officials said that the emblems will start being featured on jackets worn by team members and in official communication as well. Police commissioner Sanjay Arora unveiled the logos and said that they symbolise the 'professionalism and dedication' of these specialised units. Special commissioner of police (crime) Devesh Chandra Srivastava said that the FPB has been a part of the crime branch since 1983, and plays a key role in crime-solving through forensic analysis. 'The FPB currently maintains a database of over five lakh criminals and uses advanced systems like AFPIS, CRIS, and the national-level NAFIS to match chance prints lifted from crime scenes,' he said. 'The BDS, along with the Bomb Detection Team (BDT), was set up in 2002 and remains at the front lines of Delhi's counter-explosive operations. Equipped with state-of-the-art devices and trained in collaboration with NSG, BSF, and CRPF, these teams respond round-the-clock to bomb threats, conduct anti-sabotage checks, and secure high-risk venues,' he said.

BHASHINI and CRIS to develop AI-driven multilingual solutions for Indian Railways
The Digital India Bhashini Division (DIBD) and the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop multilingual artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for Indian Railways. The collaboration is set to enhance the way passengers interact with railway services by providing support in 22 Indian languages. The move is a step towards improving linguistic inclusivity and digital transformation in the Indian Railways. The MoU was signed by BHASHINI CEO Amitabh Nag and CRIS Managing Director G.V.L. Satya Kumar in the country's capital. The initiative will see the integration of BHASHINI's advanced language technology stack, including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Text Translation, Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), into CRIS-managed systems such as the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) and RailMadad. Nag said: 'This collaboration will transform how millions of passengers engage with railway services daily. Through BHASHINI's AI capabilities, we are ensuring that language is no longer a barrier to accessing vital public services.' The partnership's objectives extend to co-developing chatbots and voice assistants for multilingual passenger support, creating multilingual interfaces for railway enquiry setups, and scaling services through both cloud and on-premises infrastructure. These AI capabilities are planned to be deployed across various platforms, including websites, mobile apps, kiosks, and call centres, supporting real-time, speech-based interaction in multiple Indian languages. Joint technical workshops and pilot deployments are scheduled to begin in the coming months. Kumar said: 'CRIS is proud to partner with BHASHINI to implement inclusive, AI-powered solutions across our digital platforms. This will enhance accessibility, transparency, and efficiency in our passenger-facing services.' In a related development, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the first of 1,200 Siemens Mobility D9-9000 HP electric locomotives, manufactured at the Indian Railways factory in Dahod, Gujarat. The D9 locomotive is touted as the "second most powerful" in Indian Railways, following the 12,000 horsepower WAG-12B.

TxDOT Compromise Releases Information On Nearly 300,000 Texas Drivers
A Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) account compromise has exposed personal information from nearly 300,000 crash reports. A news release from the TxDOT states that on May 12, 2025, the department detected unusual activity in its Crash Records Information System (CRIS), prompting an investigation that revealed a compromised account had improperly accessed and downloaded sensitive data. The breach affected individuals involved in motor vehicle crashes, with compromised information including names, addresses, driver's license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance policy details. Those affected will be informed about the potential risks by the TxDOT. 'Notification, in this case, is not required by law, but TxDOT has taken proactive steps to inform the public by sending letters to notify the impacted individuals whose information was included in the crash reports,' wrote the department in the news release. The letter to those affected sent by the TxDOT states that those who receive the letter should 'be aware of any email or text messages related to crash information.' 'Do not provide anyone with your personal information, including social security number, bank account information, or anything else,' continues the letter. This incident is currently under investigation, and the TxDOT has already taken multiple precautions to avoid a similar incident in the future. TxDOT immediately disabled access to this account and has taken other steps to increase security, according to the department's news release. Those with information or questions about this incident are encouraged to call the TxDOT dedicated assistance line at 1-833-918-5951 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central Time (excluding U.S. holidays). As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the TxDOT has come under scrutiny in recent months following the department seemingly decided to violate the state's ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The department allegedly used this program to help allocate contracts for road and bridge projects, leading to significant criticism from state lawmakers.
