There are 42 militant camps functioning in the border region, 25 in Azad Kashmir and 17 in Pakistan containing around 2,500 militants, junior home affairs minister Mullappally Ramachandran told parliament.
"The terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan or Kashmir remains intact and infiltration attempts from across the border still continue to pose a challenge to the security forces," he said.
Pakistan-based militants - with the support of the Pakistan Army - have made 249 infiltration attempts to sneak into Indian territory so far this year - two more than last year but far below the 489 in 2010, he said.
"However, due to intensive vigil and high degree of alertness, BSF (Border Security Force) personnel foil every attempt of infiltration by Pakistani terrorists. There has been no case of infiltration by terrorists," Ramachandran said.
He said the lack of successful infiltration attempts was due to better border management, including border fencing and better intelligence.

@Usman Lakhani: Sir, I have been noticing the number of "recommend" clicks for your post and there is something strange about it. Your post got around 120 clicks initially, when there were approximately 10 posts overall and none crossed 20 click mark. Today, there are around 40 posts and you hover around 172 clicks. Just curious if you are using firefox and continually clicking your own post after each refresh or if you wrote some sort of script.
@mods, this malfunctioning isn't seen in the "recommend" button in blog posts on ET, it's seen only on the main news website. And I have pointed this out more than a year ago. Hope this is not a deliberate way to generate more traffic :-P
Indian leadership keep crying up but unfortunately without solid and authentic evidences as a part of as usual old blame game for allegations and accusations against Pakistan about involving in terror activities in India by Pakistan and despite seeing and knowing your inner intentions for Pakistan shamelessly Pakistan's leaders are going to declare India as the "Most Favorite Nation".......
NEW DELHI: New Delhi on Tuesday accused Islamabad of maintaining more than 40 militant camps along their border and said it has foiled attempts by the militants to cross into its territory.

Right to Information Pakistan Live, RTI Live, Information Pakistan, RTI online Research ORganization,Pakistan militant camps along border, Indian minister, Pakistan backing extremist militants,
To quote Rehman Malik and to deduce from that : "We will hold Pakistan responsible for such intrusions". What is good for the goose is good for the gander as well.
When it comes to discussions on water India should remember all this.
Anyway not many militants can cross the border alive, they will be shot dead by the BSF, but what will Pakistanis do without water when it is diverted to fill dams built by India, as per IWT?
@Akshay,India
Yeah we doing it, now what you gonna do give another press conference LOL
@What: ohh so the hindus,shias,ahmadis,hazaras,christians and sikhs in ur nation have forcefully occupied ur land?? got it!!!!!!!!!!!
These officials smoke . Only talk , No action....
&Indian please correct yourself and seek some knowledge before your talk! Just read the quran and don't see muslims behaviour. I could also talk generally and include your army with terrorism and your people! The priest who died in India last week has killed many muslims why didn't your people say anything instead you all supported him!!!!!! Nobody taked any action neither your SC, Fn, Eu how many muslim girls didn't your army killed? Please came to yourself and understand how are creating terrorisme. If somebody raped or killed your mother and sister in front of you. Will you tkae it easy and laugh and say it's nothing move on. NO you wouldn't say that. Look what the Indian army is doing in Kashmir. If you want someone to understand you then you also have to face the truth.
we should put a fence like this along the PK-Afghan border other thing are same as in the nwes
To Pakistanis, keep denying but you can't hide the truth.
This is stale news give us something news world knows it jihadis from north waziristan as save havens attack NATO and ISAF forces HAQQANI NETWORK like LASHKAR E TOIBA is a 'VERITABLE' arm of rogue ISI
Terrorist's Passage to haven goes through Pakistan.
Every terrorist is obligated to make a life time pilgrimage to Pakistan.
@Usman Lakhani who writes "To India – GET A LIFE!"
Is that the reason Pakistan half dead? It doesn't need a life?
@indian, islam is a religion of peace for those who deserve peace, not those who forcefully occupy lands.
@Usman Lakhani:
really?? pray for some life extention if you are in any major paki cities. leave other tribal areas.
its not a news anymore. everyone in the world know about this. . http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43127417/ns/worldnews-southandcentralasia/t/militant-training-camp-near-bin-laden-hideout/#.UL4U_GebCso . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-19146057 . http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jul/11/pakistan-hesitates-to-eradicate-us-mapped-militant/?page=all . http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/8033204/Britons-training-in-Pakistan-for-UK-terror-attacks.html . http://www.thenewstribe.com/2012/11/12/pakistan-admits-pakistanis-let-training-camps-used-for-mumbai-attacks/ . i think. you need to improve PR as suggested in other article today.
and here comes indians to whine about the recent verbal diarrhea from their govt. here is suggestion for indian trolls go complaint to your govt..
Typical useless comments by the indain minister and his minions here pulled out from where the sun don't shine.
@indian: You are just showing your class with trollish comments and thanks ET for publishing such derogatory comments spewed against Pakistan keep up the good work.
Junior home affairs minister Mullappally Ramachandran want to become a "Senior"... ... Ambitions I see...
Indian policy is made by Eunuchs! Untill and unless they reply force with force, the enticement to use overt or covert force will remain.
Keep whining
Indians are mistaken these are just Sunni Ittehad council +PPP and ASWJ+PML-N election campaign centers.
Pakistan continues to use the tool of cross-border terrorism as its state policy to settle political scores with its neighbours especially India and Afghanistan. This decades old policy has since backfired on Pakistan itself as the monster of terrorism is causing more violence and destruction in this country than India who put adequate defensive mechanism along its border which resulted in 90 percent reduction in terrorism related incidents in Kashmir and elsewhere in India. Time of reckoning has come for Pakistan to revisit this self-destructive policy to bring back peace and prosperity in its own country as the same is no longer effective against India and the country has also lost its credibility in the international arena..
Tomorrow's news item: "Pakistan dismisses Indian allegation of having camps on its territory. Pakistan Interior minister said that Pakistan has never had any training camps, which is why Pakistan has no terrorist groups what so ever. He ridiculed Indian attempts to malign pakistan, a country full of law abiding & peaceful people."!!
every onne knows the double standard of pakis...............and they say islam is religion of peace....rubbish
To India - GET A LIFE!
Total balderdash.
These are not terrorist camps, these are refugee camps.
These are not terrorists, these are the flood victims.
The black things in their hands are over-burnt chicken kebab on sticks and not Kalashnikov.
They run here and there to fetch food and water and not to train physically.
India needs to grow up.
Joke ! Pakistan never has/had any terrorist on its soil.
And ET it is, Minister of State for Home Affairs, and not "junior home affairs minister". Do you have a liaison officer from ISPR sitting in your editors' room ?
What better way of spending all the war against terror funds from US?
So the script from Ramachandran was to praise BSF...
Pakistan sending in ‘high-quality’ fake currency, claims Indian government, 29 November, 2012
I commented here on 23rd November, 2012. You people will never learn. And our patience is running out…
Jat Nov 23, 2012 – 5:20PM Reply To all Pakistanis: Our ability to act as “elder brother/good neighbor” ends where Pakistan’s policy of sending “terrorists and counterfeit currency” into India begins.
So what's new? And we still want to play cricket with them. Shameful.
utterly false there are no camps :REHMAN MALIK
So much for the much hyped and over inflated Aman ki Aasha
