How can India tackle cross-border terrorism effectively

Insights into the defence minister's opinion on how India can combat terrorism across the border.
  • According to India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the country needs to adopt a multi-pronged strategy to tackle cross-border terrorism effectively.
  • The first step is to strengthen the intelligence gathering mechanism to prevent terrorist infiltration from across the border.
  • India needs to work in close coordination with friendly foreign nations to choke funding sources of terrorist organizations and prevent their weapon supply chain.
  • The Defence Minister emphasized the importance of strengthening border security infrastructure, including fortified fencing, watchtowers, and advanced surveillance technology.
  • The Defence Minister also suggested that India must establish a counter-terrorism facility to handle information warfare against terrorist groups. Law enforcement agencies must be trained to be cyber-savvy, identify any malicious intent on time.
  • The Minister also emphasized that Pakistan's support of terrorist activities should be strongly condemned internationally and pressure must be exerted upon them to bring a halt to their support of terrorist organizations.
By implementing these measures, India can effectively counter-terrorism across the border. It would require the collective effort of all stakeholders, including the government, law enforcement agencies, and the general public to bring about this change.
