He said, compared to the past the situation has improved substantially, violence levels have come down, tourist visits this year were more than last year. However, infiltration attempts are increasing.<br/><br/>After witnessing the rollout of the naval version of the Light Combat Aircraft, Antony told reporters that when the situation becomes normal, enemies operating from across the border become panicky and jittery and problems had been anticipated this summer.<br/><br/>To a question on Pakistan, he said at the moment, we have not seen anything on the ground regarding action against terrorists operating from across the border.<br/><br/>He said, India must continue to be alert as terrorists continue to operate from across the border and we cannot lower our guard.
