As per the available reports, the details of estimated infiltration that took place in the State of Jammu and Kashmir from across the border, during the last five years are given below:

The Government, in tandem with the State Government, has adopted a multi-pronged approach to contain cross-border infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir, which includes strengthening of border management and multi-tiered and multi-modal deployment along the International Border/Line of Control and near the ever changing infiltration routes, construction of border fencing, improved technology, weapons and equipment for security forces, improved intelligence and operational coordination and synergizing intelligence flow to check infiltration and pro-active action against terrorists within the State.

The counter-infiltration efforts are reviewed periodically at various levels in the State Government (including the two Unified Headquarters headed by the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir) and in the Central Government.
