'Police' and 'Public Order' being State subjects, action with respect to maintenance of law and order lies primarily in the domain of the State Governments concerned.  The Central Government has been pursuing a multi-pronged  strategy  to  tackle  terrorism/  extremism,  which  inter-alia includes  security  related  measures,  development  related  interventions, ensuring rights and entitlements of local communities and public perception management.

Discussions on the issue of terrorism forms a significant part of the engagement between India and other  countries  at  various  international forums  as  also  during  high  level  and  other  visits  and  bilateral  foreign office consultations.  During such interaction, India actively engages with other countries for sensitizing them about its concerns regarding terrorism  in  general  and  cross-border  terrorism  in  particular.    It  also seeks  to  forge  common  perceptions  for  mutual  cooperation  at  the bilateral and multi-lateral level for addressing the scourge of terrorism.
