Investigations carried out so far in connection with the terrorist shootout in the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore does not reveal any linkage with Bangladesh, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Wednesday.
To a question on concentration of Pak-supported terrorists on the Indo-Bangladesh border, Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said in a written reply that no such inputs have come to the notice of the government.
On measures being taken by the government to deal with possibilities of terrorist attack, he said states are advised from time to time to take steps to streamline physical and protective security of vital installations and important establishments.
He said the government has adopted a multi-pronged approach by strengthening the border management to check illegal cross-border activities.
Modernisation and upgradation of police and security forces with advanced sophisticated weapons and communication system and sensitising state governments about the threat perception and activities of terrorist organisations are some other steps to check illegal cross-border activities, he added.
