Exam-focused facts from the 10 January 2026 current affairs briefing.

Key facts

Union home minister Amit Shah launched the National IED Data Management System (NIDMS), which is a two-way comprehensive and integrated online platform.
The NIDMS will be available to National Investigation Agency (NIA), anti-terrorism squads , state police forces and central armed police forces.
The database available with NSG contains data related to all bomb explosions since 1999 and will now be made available to police forces and relevant agencies through the NIDMS.
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.
The platform will strengthen the process of collecting, standardising, integrating and securely sharing IED-related data.
