The Minister of State for Home, Shri Harin Pathak told the Lok Sabha today that in order to tackle the menace of terrorism, the Central Government has adopted a well coordinated and multi-pronged approach which includes strengthening the border management and coastal security, galvanizing the intelligence machinery, neutralizing plans of ISI by well coordinated intelligence based operations and modernizations and up-gradation of State Police and Central Security Forces. Besides, Diplomatic initiatives have also been taken to combat trans-border crime and terrorism.

As a result of the coordinated action by the Central/State security agencies, a number of Pak backed terrorist/espionage modules have been detected/neutralized in various parts of the country.
