Expanding footprint of terror groups in Pak major security

Expanding footprint of terror groups in neighbouring Pakistan, and their link with terror activities in India, is a "major security challenge", Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here today.
Addressing the concluding day of the 46th Governors Conference, the Prime Minister spoke on various issues including ceasefire violations along the Line of Control(LoC), violence perpetrated by Maoists and recent initiatives taken on economic front.
While talking about the security scenario especially in states sharing international borders, Modi said "the expanding footprint of extremist and terrorist organisations in Pakistan, and their link with terror activities in India, is a major security challenge."

He said ceasefire violations along the LoC were continuing but added that the Government adopted a multi-pronged approach to counter infiltration from across the border.
The Prime Minister asked the states facing the problem of Left Wing Extremism to adopt a coordinated approach to tackle the problem.
The Conference, which saw participation of 21 Governors and two Lt Governors, was chaired by President Pranab Mukherjee and attended among others by several cabinet ministers.
