The agreement marks a new era of technology-driven policing aimed at enhancing transparency and data accessibility.
According to a press release from Rourkela police, the partnership will focus on automating various police procedures.

They highlighted the need for such advancements to better serve society. NIT-R director K Umamaheshwar Rao and registrar Rohan Dhiman discussed how academia and law enforcement can collaborate to develop effective solutions for citizens.

YouTube's cofounder says the biggest problem with videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels is: They are just for…
YouTube cofounder Steve Chen warns that short-form video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels are creating dangerous viewing habits in children, arguing that these bite-sized clips are "purely entertainment" designed only for momentary consumption rather than meaningful engagement. Speaking at Stanford Business School on Friday, Chen expressed deep concerns about platforms that prioritize content under 15 minutes, saying they condition young viewers to lose the ability to focus on longer, more substantial material. The father of two, who helped launch YouTube in 2005 before selling it to Google, specifically called out the addictive nature of short videos. Former YouTube CTO calls for platform responsibility in child safety Chen, who served as YouTube's chief technology officer before moving to Taiwan in 2019, highlighted the tension between user engagement and actual utility. He emphasized that while TikTok succeeds as entertainment, its ephemeral nature contributes to shortened attention spans among young users. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 3 & 4 BHK Homes Starting ₹1.65 Cr Near HITEC City Honer Signatis Book Now Undo The entrepreneur's concerns reflect broader academic research linking social media use to declining attention spans and increased anxiety among youth, prompting calls for greater industry accountability in protecting developing minds. Tech leaders unite against short-form content's impact on youth Chen's warnings align with growing concerns from other tech luminaries about social media's effect on developing minds. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently described short video feeds as "messing with kids' brain development in a super deep way," while NYU professor Jonathan Haidt argued to Business Insider that social media apps are "severely damaging children in the Western world." The YouTube cofounder noted that some parents are now deliberately avoiding content with vibrant colors and "addictive eyeballs" – visual elements specifically designed to hook young viewers. He suggested that platforms should implement daily time restrictions based on age groups to protect children from overconsumption.
