MODERNIZATION OF PARA-MILITRARY FORCES
Lok Sabha
Modernization of Central Para-Military
Forces is a continuous exercise. During the last few years, keeping
in view the possession of ultra modern weapons by the terrorist
infiltrators, the Government has given special attention to upgrading
the strike capability of the forces by induction of modern and
sophisticated weaponry and equipment. In order to provide a time
perspective to the Government effort and to cope with the challenge
of increased militant and terrorist activities, a Five year perspective
modernization plan has been formulated for the period 2001-2005
which is being implemented in a phased manner.
This was stated by the
Minister of State for Home Shri Ch. Vidyasagar Rao in the Lok
Sabha today.
