The celebrations will continue from September 2026 to September 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new logo carries the theme \u201cEnsuring Safer &amp; Secure Mobility\u201d, highlighting CIRT\u2019s focus on road safety, secure transportation, technological innovation and emerging mobility solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the meeting, the CIRT delegation invited Gadkari to Pune for the formal inauguration of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. A formal invitation letter and a framed invitation were presented to the Union minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delegation included CIRT\u2019s Head of Technical Secretariat Shekhar Dhole, Head of Automotive Cybersecurity Farukh Makhdoom and Head of Research and Consultancy Umesh Suryawanshi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the Diamond Jubilee year, CIRT has planned a series of technical, research and awareness programmes.
