India-Pak-Int'l Border
Pakistani Army troops are building bunkers, observation towers and new posts in close proximity to the International Border, including Barmer, Jaisalmer and Bikaner borders.
Minister of State for Home S. Raghupathy said today in Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament), that though construction and improvement of defense, including setting up of new posts along the border, is an ongoing process, Pakistani activities are being closely monitored and suitable remedial measures are being adopted to deny advantages to the adversary.
Raghupathy said a total of 220 infiltrators were killed and 7,628 were apprehended by the security forces during the year 2005 (till October).
The majority of infiltrating terrorists were affiliated to Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toaiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, he said.
