Govt’s “robust counter-infiltration strategy

The government has adopted a robust counter-infiltration strategy to check the infiltration bids by the terrorists along the Line of Control [LoC] and International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Replying to a question in the Rajya Sabha on November 18, Shripad Naik, Minister of State for Defence said that the government has adopted a robust counter-infiltration strategy -- an appropriate mix of technology and human resources -- to deal with the infiltration attempts of the terrorists effectively.

Naik further said that the Indian armed forces have enhanced their capability to deal with the infiltrators. The forces have enhanced their capability with innovative deployment of troops, proactive use of surveillance devices and the use of Anti Infiltration Obstacle System (AIOS) along the LoC and IB.
