New Delhi, Nov 24: The government informed Parliament on Wednesday that around 200 terrorists were active in Jammu and Kashmir out of which 105 had infiltrated into India from Pakistan this year.

Ahir said the government, in tandem with the state government, had adopted a multi-pronged approach to contain cross-border infiltration, which included strengthening of border management and multi-tiered deployment along the international border/Line of Control and near the ever changing infiltration routes and construction and maintenance of border fencing.

The minister said the steps included construction of bunkers and bridges on nullahs, improved technology, weapons and equipment for security forces, improved intelligence and operations coordination, installation of border floodlight on the international border and synergising intelligence flow to check infiltration.

Replying to a separate question, MoS for home Kiren Rijiju said the government has decided to install modern anti-infiltration mechanisms on the border.

"In this regard, pilot projects of technological solutions in the form of comprehensive integrated border management system (CIBMS) have been approved for Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh borders," Rijiju said. He added that sufficient funds were available for other pilot projects under CIBMS.

Rijiju further said this was basically an integration of manpower, sensor networks, intelligence and command and control solutions and included electro-optic sensors (high resolution day and night cameras), radars and other devices.

New Delhi, Feb 11: People of Delhi have explained the true meaning of nationalism through their mandate, AAP's prominent face Manish Sisodia said as he clinched victory on the Patparganj seat.

Sisodia, who retained his seat for the third time, said the BJP indulged in "politics of hate", but people refused to be divided.

"I am happy to have won the Patparganj seat again. The BJP indulged in politics of hate, but I thank the people of Patparganj. Today, Delhi's people have chosen a government which works for them and explained the true meaning of nationalism through their mandate," he told reporters.

Sisodia, who was the Deputy Chief Minister and led the government's education reforms agenda, defeated BJP's Ravinder Singh Negi by a margin of over 3,500 votes.

In 2013, Sisodia had won by a margin of 11,000 votes and in 2015 by over 28,000 votes.
