(a) to (c): It is not a fact that terrorism has increased in the country.Although violence
and militancy has continued in some parts of the country, the overall situation has remained
largely in control.
The Government pursues a comprehensive policy to deal with terrorism by way of enhanced
intelligence sharing, strengthening of border management,augmenting the capabilities of police
and security forces by providing advanced/sophisticated weapons,communication systems and
training. As a result, a large number of terrorist modules have been busted and possible major
terrorist incidents averted.Institutional arrangements have also been put in place so that
sharing and analysis of information can be done on a continuing basis in a systematic and
coordinated manner.The Government has also established bilateral and multilateral mechanisms to
address the external imperatives of terrorism.
