| New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today expressed concern that incursion of terrorists from across the border had gone up in Jammu and Kashmir though there has been a "marked decline" in terror incidents in the state.
"There has been a marked decline in terrorist incidents in Jammu and Kashmir in 2008-2009. (But) infiltration levels have shown an increase. Some incidents in Jammu and Kashmir are disturbing," Manmohan Singh said, inaugurating the internal security conclave for state chief ministers here.
The prime minister said that "hostile groups and elements operate from across the border to perpetrate terrorist acts in our country".
"The state of Jammu and Kashmir bears the brunt of the acts of these groups," he said.
He said the counterfeit currency notes smuggled into India from across the border pose a great threat to the economy.
"Fake currency notes are being printed and smuggled into India from across the border and there is a need for coordinated efforts between states and the centre to tackle the menace. It has a major impact on our economy," he said.(IANS) |
