US EditionIndia Unveils First Anti-Terror Policy ‘Prahaar’ to Tackle Evolving Threats
PRAHAAR aims to prevent attacks, counter high-tech threats, and reduce radicalization through coordinated efforts between agencies and community engagement, the Ministry said.
- On Monday, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs released PRAHAAR, India’s first national counter‑terror policy, noting criminal hackers and hostile states target India via cyber-attacks.
- Longstanding cross-border threats have meant India faces sponsored terrorism from jihadi terror outfits and their frontal organisations, whose handlers use drones and advanced tools in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
- Operationally, the policy mandates local police as first responders supported by the National Security Guard and other special forces, with investigations led by the National Investigation Agency and state police alongside legal experts from FIR to prosecution.
- By stressing cooperation, the framework aims to create a coordinated response to stop attacks while protecting rights and enhancing ties with international partners and law agencies.
- Positioned for the long term, PRAHAAR is a coordinated legal, technological and community-driven strategy to modernise training and protect critical sectors including power, railways, aviation, ports, defence, space and atomic energy, while strengthening state counter-terror units and global partners.
