Union minister of state for home affairs G Kishan Reddy said in the Rajya Sabha that the number of terrorist incidents in Jammu and Kashmir have reduced significantly.

The Government has adopted a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism and has taken various measures, such as strengthening of security apparatus, strict enforcement of law against anti-national elements, intensified cordon and search operations to effectively deal with the challenges posed by the terrorist organisations.
Reddy said security Forces keep a close watch on persons who attempt to provide support to terrorists and initiate action against them.
