  • The Ministry of Home Affairs has launched “Prahaar,” India’s first comprehensive counter-terrorism policy aimed at strengthening national security across land, air and maritime domains. The framework addresses cross-border terrorism, cyber warfare and misuse of emerging technologies.
  • The policy highlights threats such as drone-based smuggling in border states, cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and the terror–organised crime nexus. It also warns against the potential misuse of CBRN materials and digital platforms for recruitment and financing.
  • Prahaar proposes legal reforms, improved conviction mechanisms and stronger inter-agency coordination, involving agencies like the National Investigation Agency and the Intelligence Bureau. It also emphasises global cooperation and intelligence-sharing to combat transnational terrorism networks.
