However, Singh also mentioned that even as Pakistan tries to engage in cross-border terrorism by undertaking repeated infiltrations, the attempts are thwarted by the armed personnel. Dilbag Singh said that the anti-infiltration grid has kept a strict vigil. The security measures taken have successfully foiled many such infiltration efforts, added Singh. However, hostile situation still looms as Singh said that a significant number of terrorists are currently active along the border.
