The government says, the terror infrastructure in Pakistan continues to remain intact and infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir remains unabated with a substantial increase in 2009. The 2009-10 annual report of the Home Ministry said, the government is firmly committed to thwarting the challenge posed by terrorists and violence sponsored from across the border.<br/><br/>Giving an overview of the internal security scenario, the Home Ministry report said, the situation in the country remains largely under control. However, violence has increased in terms of number of incidents and casualties of civilians and security personnel, as compared to the corresponding period of 2008.<br/><br/>The report said, the overall counter action by the affected states in terms of Left Wing Extremists killed, arrested and surrendered has shown much better results in 2009. However, there is an urgent need to strengthen police response particularly by Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh by improving actionable intelligence collection and sharing mechanisms and strengthening their police force.
