Per local outlet Morung Express, India's Nagaland state has submitted its electricity bill and Inner Line Permit (ILP) databases for integration with NATGRID, while the water bill database remains pending digitization.
State nodal officer Y Kikheto Sema shared the update at a meeting with a visiting NATGRID team in Kohima, stressing the need to keep government databases regularly updated.
NATGRID, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, is positioned as a counter-terrorism platform that identifies and integrates databases across government. Officials said 117 databases have been connected so far, 16 states have integrated (three in the North-East), with platforms like Gandiv and Sudarshan used by intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
The retweeter's angle: even utility bills are being digested for intelligence, highlighting the large-scale consolidation of government data for surveillance purposes.
