With a view to foil any attempt by terrorists to sneak into the mainland through the sea, the Government has increased surveillance and patrolling of the country's 7,516-km-long coastline spread across nine States and four Union Territories, reports The Hindustan Times. The renewed efforts to tighten security and surveillance in shallow areas close to the coast have been made to counter illegal cross-border activities and criminal acts, including infiltration by terrorists and smuggling of arms and explosives, Home Ministry officials said. Intelligence agencies have also cautioned the government that terror groups were trying to use gaps in India's coastline that connect the country to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Maldives, all of which have seen rising terrorist activities, officials said. They also said there are intelligence inputs of Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) trying to set up its bases in uninhabited islands located in high seas around the country. The measures have been taken up as part of the government's Coastal Security Scheme launched about three years ago through which it decided to set up 73 coastal police stations, 97 police check posts, 58 outposts and 30 barracks. Under the scheme, which is being implemented in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal besides Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the coastal police stations are being equipped with 204 boats, 149 jeeps and 312 motorcycles. Steps are being taken to strengthen joint patrolling off the coast in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh to prevent any attempt by terrorists to smuggle arms and explosives as most of these states have suffered terror strikes in the recent past.

The all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in Chennai on October 14 to discuss the problems of Sri Lankan Tamils adopted a resolution which said that Members of Parliament (MPs) from Tamil Nadu will resign from the Parliament if the Union Government does not come forward to ensure a cease-fire in Sri Lanka within two weeks. In other resolutions, the meeting demanded that the military hardware supplied by India to Sri Lanka not be used against the Tamil people and asked the Centre to intervene at once to stop the killing of innocent Tamils. The resolutions reflected the collective mindset of the Tamils in the State following the large scale massacre of innocent Tamils in Sri Lanka, Karunanidhi said. There are 39 MPs in the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) from Tamil Nadu and one from Puducherry. Leaders of all the parties in the State that are represented in the Lok Sabha, barring the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam which has the support of two members, agreed to abide by the resolution. The meeting was attended by all major parties, barring the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) , the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has expressed "serious concern" over the developments in Sri Lanka and urged Colombo to find a negotiated settlement rather than look for a "military victory," reports The Hindu. Sri Lanka must respect the human rights of ethnic Tamils, Singh told journalists in New Delhi on October 15. He said the Government was concerned at the escalating hostilities, losses suffered by civilians and increasing number of displaced persons, adding, "We always believe that the situation in Sri Lanka does not call for military victory. It calls for a negotiated, political settlement which respects the unity and integrity of Sri Lanka and at the same time respects the essential human rights of minorities, particularly Tamil minorities."

Sri Lanka has assured India that the safety and well-being of the Tamil community in that country will be taken care of and Basil Rajapakse, Senior Advisor to the President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapakse, will visit New Delhi shortly to explain his government’s position in this regard, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in a suo motu statement in both Houses of Parliament on October 22, The Hindu reported. Mukherjee said New Delhi had emphasised to Colombo that the safety and security of the civilians must be guarded at all costs. He reiterated the government’s stand that there was no military solution to the ethnic conflict and what was required was a peacefully negotiated political settlement "within the framework of a united Sri Lanka respecting rights of the minorities," including the Tamil community. "The rights and welfare of the Tamil community of Sri Lanka should not get enmeshed in the ongoing hostilities against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). We encourage the government of Sri Lanka to continue to nurture the democratic process in the Eastern province as well," said Mukherjee. India has also taken up with the Sri Lankan government the need to ensure the safety of its fishermen. While it was important for Indian fishermen to respect the International Maritime Boundary Line, "we have impressed upon the Sri Lankan Navy to desist from firing on Indian fishermen. Our two governments have agreed to work towards concluding practical arrangements to prevent such incidents," added Mukherjee.
