"A 16-member Assam Police team, following directions from Google Maps, strayed into Nagaland during a raid when they were attacked and captured by local residents who mistook them for criminals. The incident happened in Nagaland's Mokokchung district on Tuesday night when the police team were carrying out a raid to catch a criminal."

'Natural language prompts enable users to describe the prominent geographic features they see in an image, such as landmarks, infrastructure, or special buildings. If users then add information about distances between the features in the image, SPOT will show possible matches with data from OpenStreetMap.'

' In this group, 44% of them received cash each month from a government program while 56% did not. The families that received the cash were significantly less likely to contract TB. Among the extremely poor in this category, TB cases and deaths dropped by more than 50% and in the Indigenous population the drop was even more dramatic: more than 60%.'
