India will spare no effort to deal with terrorist and insurgent groups operating from neighbouring countries and are determined to put an end to terrorism sponsored from across the border with all the means at our command, said the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

India will not allow forces of extremism and terrorism to destabilise polity and society. India will work with the international community to see that there are no safe havens and launching pads for terrorism, the Indian Prime Minister said addressing Chief Minister's Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on January 6.

“There is close nexus between terrorist outfits, criminals and crime syndicates. Better tracking of crime and criminals will have a salutary impact on checking terrorist acts and both the Centre and the State Governments have to be alive to this reality,” he said.

He said: “all the anti-terror initiatives will be undertaken with the closest possible interaction with the state government and their apparatus. We do recognize that it is not possible to effectively fight terror without the whole-hearted cooperation of the police machinery at all levels”.

Expressing his concerns about vulnerability from terrorists using the sea route, the Indian Prime Minister said a group is already working on creating an effective Coastal Command and it will work in close coordination with the coastal police to provide effective coastal security.
