Using the recently amended provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Union Government on September 4, notified four most-wanted terrorists: Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) ‘chief’ Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) ‘chief’ Masood Azhar, ‘chief operational commander’ of LeT Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, as 'individual terrorists', reports The Times of India. All of them are presently based in Pakistan and considered as 'global terrorists' under United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1267. "And whereas, the central government believes that Maulana Masood Azhar is involved in terrorism and Maulana Masood Azhar is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act...," a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) notification said. "And whereas, the central government believes that Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is involved in terrorism and Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act...," the notification added. "And whereas, the central government believes that Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is involved in terrorism and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is to be notified as a terrorist under the said Act," the notification further stated. The UMHA also said Dawood runs an international underworld crime syndicate and is involved in perpetrating acts of terror, promoting religious fundamentalism, terror financing, arms smuggling, circulation of Fake India Currency Notes (FICN), money laundering, narcotics, extortion and benami real estate business in India and abroad. He was also involved in assassination attempts on prominent personalities to create social disharmony and terrorise common man. It also said Dawood executed a series of bomb blasts along with his associates in Mumbai in March 1993, which resulted in deaths of 257 people and injured over 1000 others apart from the destruction of properties on a massive scale. Moreover, as reported on September 5, the United States (US) has backed India designating four criminals as terrorists and commented that this step expands possibilities of cooperation between Washington and New Delhi in fighting terrorism, according to The Times of India. The Acting Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia, Alice G Wells, tweeted on September 4, "We stand w/ #India and commend it for utilizing new legal authorities to designate 4 notorious terrorists: Maulana Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and Dawood Ibrahim. This new law expands possibilities for joint #USIndia efforts to combat scourge of terrorism."

Peace and reconciliation cannot go forward in an atmosphere of terror, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin said on September 10, reports The Hindu. “There is a surge of violence in Afghanistan in recent days, including threats to the election process itself. This has deepened apprehensions that acts of terror are being used to jockey for a place of advantage in the negotiating process...The support and safe havens enjoyed from beyond Afghanistan’s borders by groups such as the Taliban, the Haqqani Network, Da’esh, as well as Al-Qaeda and its proscribed affiliates, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, must be addressed,” he said, without naming any country. He further added that India supports U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ call for direct talks since it is the Afghan people who will implement and bear the consequences of any agreements arrived at.

The Coimbatore police have said that there are no Lashkar-e-Tayiba (LeT) terrorists present in Tamil Nadu. Police Commissioner, Sumit Sharan said, “We are doing out bit and what the Intelligence Bureau is following up on we are not aware”. Earlier on August 22, central agencies had said that 6 LeT terrorists had entered into Tamil Nadu. Further the Army too had recently said it received inputs about a possible terror attack in South India. The alert comes in the wake of the National Investigation Agency conducting investigations into an Islamic State (IS) module case. So far the NIA has registered 27 cases relating to the IS of which 18 are from South India. Further nearly 155 arrests have been made of which 58 are from South. With the IS trying to spread its ideology, the National Investigation Agency has been conducting training sessions for the police officers of those states affected by the problem.

Pakistan-origin drones dropping heavy arms and ammunition in Punjab have alarmed security agencies in the national capital Delhi, reports India Today on September 26. Intelligence inputs suggest that terror outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) can use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to drop bombs and target crowded areas, dignitaries and vital installations. "Intelligence agencies have learnt from terror communication intercepts that UAVs can be used for attacks. Conversations on WhatsApp, e-mails, Facebook and Telegram have pointed towards plans of aerial attacks in the city. They also mention details of recently purchased drones from the online market," said an official. A Delhi Police official said, "To prevent any untoward incident in the city, the use of flying objects like drones has been restricted by the police". "We need to see if a drone is carrying explosives for security agencies to control it," said Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) spokesperson Hemendra Singh.
