The policy outlines a <strong>seven-pillar framework<\/strong>. These pillars focus on prevention, swift response, capacity building, human rights compliance, de-radicalization, international cooperation, and societal resilience.

The strategy is rooted in India\u2019s long-standing principle of <strong>\u201czero tolerance against terrorism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Importantly, India does not link terrorism to any religion, ethnicity, nationality, or civilization. Instead, it condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. The policy aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Criminalize all terrorist acts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deny terrorists access to funds, weapons, and safe havens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen coordination between Central and State agencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counter misuse of technology for terror activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/spmiasacademy.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-621x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"National Counter-Terrorism Policy &amp; Strategy \u2018PRAHAAR\u2019: India\u2019s Zero Tolerance Framework Explained\" class=\"wp-image-2024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spmiasacademy.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-621x1024.jpeg 621w, https:\/\/spmiasacademy.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-182x300.jpeg 182w, https:\/\/spmiasacademy.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, PRAHAAR represents a multi-layered, whole-of-government and whole-of-society counter-terrorism framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>India\u2019s Terror Threat Profile: Emerging and Evolving Challenges:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India faces a complex and multi-dimensional terror threat environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cross-Border and Sponsored Terrorism:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, India has been affected by cross-border sponsored terrorism for decades. Terror outfits and their front organizations continue to plan and execute attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Global Terror Networks:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, global groups such as <strong>Al-Qaeda<\/strong> and <strong>ISIS<\/strong> have attempted to incite violence in India through sleeper cells and online radicalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use of Technology in Terrorism:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, terrorists increasingly misuse drones for smuggling arms and explosives and encrypted messaging apps for coordination. Additionally, they also use the <strong>Dark web<\/strong> and <strong>crypto wallets<\/strong> for terror financing. Furthermore, <strong>social media<\/strong> and <strong>cyber-attacks<\/strong> are other ways for terror groups for spreading propaganda and extortion and recruitment activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, threats related to <strong>CBRNED (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive, Digital)<\/strong> materials remain a serious concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, India\u2019s counter-terror strategy must address both conventional and emerging technological threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Seven Pillars of India\u2019s Counter-Terrorism Strategy (PRAHAAR):<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Prevention of Terror Attacks:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India follows an <strong>intelligence-guided proactive approach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>Multi Agency Centre (MAC)<\/strong> and <strong>Joint Task Force on Intelligence (JTFI)<\/strong> ensure real-time intelligence sharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Law enforcement agencies disrupt terror modules and funding networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Border forces use advanced surveillance technologies across land, air, and sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special emphasis is placed on disrupting <strong>Over Ground Worker (OGW) networks<\/strong>, <strong>Illegal arms syndicates<\/strong> and <strong>Terror funding<\/strong> under Indian legal frameworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Swift and Proportionate Response:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The local police act as first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>National Security Guard (NSG)<\/strong> assists in major terror incidents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>National Investigation Agency (NIA)<\/strong> conducts high-profile investigations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs)<\/strong> support states in counter-terror operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) ensure coordinated and structured response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Aggregating Internal Capacities:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Modernization of security agencies remains a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Acquisition of advanced weapons and surveillance tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity building of Anti-Terror Squads (ATS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialized urban combat training by NSG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training programs conducted by Bureau of Police Research &amp; Development (BPR&amp;D)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Efforts are being made to standardize anti-terror structures across states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Human Rights and Rule of Law:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s counter-terrorism approach respects constitutional safeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key laws include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explosives Act, 1908<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arms Act, 1959<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple levels of legal redress are available up to the Supreme Court. India adheres to international human rights commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Attenuating Conditions Enabling Terrorism:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, India places strong emphasis on <strong>de-radicalization and community engagement<\/strong> to weaken the conditions that enable terrorism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, authorities adopt a <strong>graded police response toward radicalized youth<\/strong>, ensuring intervention is proportionate and corrective rather than purely punitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition, the government actively involves <strong>community leaders, religious scholars, and NGOs<\/strong> to spread awareness and counter extremist narratives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furthermore, <strong>prison de-radicalization programmes<\/strong> are implemented to prevent vulnerable inmates from being influenced by hardened extremists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the same time, <strong>scholarships, skill development initiatives, and employment schemes<\/strong> are promoted to reduce socio-economic vulnerability among vulnerable communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, this approach integrates both security measures and socio-economic interventions, addressing the root causes of radicalization alongside immediate threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Aligning International Efforts:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, recognizing the transnational nature of terrorism, India places strong emphasis on <strong>international cooperation<\/strong> to effectively counter global terror networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, India enters into <strong>Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs)<\/strong> to facilitate evidence sharing and legal cooperation with partner countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition, it signs <strong>Extradition Treaties and Extradition Arrangements<\/strong> to ensure that wanted fugitives are brought to justice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furthermore, India actively participates in <strong>Joint Working Groups (JWG)<\/strong> to enhance intelligence sharing and coordinated counter-terror operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the same time, India supports the <strong>designation of terrorists at the United Nations<\/strong>, thereby strengthening global sanctions and accountability mechanisms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, India collaborates with the international community to counter the <strong>misuse of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)<\/strong> for terrorist activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Recovery and Resilience:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, India adopts a <strong>whole-of-society approach<\/strong> to ensure recovery and resilience after terrorist incidents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, the government promotes <strong>public-private partnerships<\/strong> to strengthen response capacity and speed up recovery efforts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition, authorities provide <strong>psychological counselling and legal assistance to victims<\/strong>, ensuring emotional and judicial support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furthermore, the <strong>civil administration leads reconstruction and restoration efforts<\/strong>, helping affected communities return to normalcy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the same time, enhanced <strong>preventive security measures<\/strong> are implemented to restore public confidence and deter future threats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, this integrated approach strengthens societal resilience and ensures stability in the aftermath of terror incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Way Forward: Strengthening India\u2019s Counter-Terror Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although PRAHAAR establishes a strong foundation, further reforms are necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firstly, although <strong>PRAHAAR<\/strong> provides a strong foundation, India must further strengthen <strong>inter-agency intelligence coordination<\/strong>. It will ensure seamless information sharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondly, the government should <strong>regularly update legal frameworks<\/strong>. It will help to effectively respond to emerging and technology-driven terror threats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition, there is a need to <strong>enhance training and modernize State Anti-Terror Squads (ATS)<\/strong> to ensure uniform capacity across regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furthermore, authorities should <strong>integrate legal experts from the FIR stage through prosecution. <\/strong>It will lead to improvement in conviction rates and procedural strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the same time, India must <strong>invest in emerging technologies<\/strong>.<strong> <\/strong>The<strong> AI-driven threat detection and advanced surveillance tools<\/strong> will counter futuristic terror risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, it is essential to <strong>deepen international collaboration, especially against cyber-terrorism and digital radicalization networks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, national measures must align with regional and global cooperation to effectively address the growing challenge of transnational terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion: PRAHAAR and India\u2019s Zero Tolerance Counter-Terrorism Doctrine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s National Counter-Terrorism Policy PRAHAAR represents a comprehensive and proactive counter-terror strategy rooted in zero tolerance. It integrates intelligence-led prevention, swift response mechanisms, legal safeguards, de-radicalization, international cooperation, and societal resilience.
