India launch the first national weapon database marks a significant step in strengthening internal security and counter-terrorism mechanisms. By creating a centralized digital repository to track lost, stolen, looted, and recovered government firearms, the initiative enhances coordination among law enforcement and investigative agencies. Real-time access to verified weapon data helps trace the origin, movement, and recovery history of firearms, reducing the risk of such weapons reaching terrorist groups, Naxalites, or criminal gangs. This systematic tracking improves preventive policing, supports faster investigations, and reinforces nationwide efforts to combat terrorism and organized crime.
