ISI rekindling Punjab militancy

The Punjab Police has flagged operational difficulties in dealing with the terror threats emanating from the  militant outfits due to the spillover of Pakistani telecommunications network signal into Indian territory, increasing use of cyber space, use of different routes to Pakistan for availing training by terrorists and continued flow of funds to non-FCRA registered NGOs and lack of inputs on Islamic terrorism.

The Punjab police has as well underscored concerns over encrypted communication using Voice over Internet Protocol/Skype by terrorists and the Intelligence Bureau is discussing the issue with the Department of Telecommunications with a view to finding a de-encryption solution. The IB is as well deliberating with the telecommunications officials in order to arrive at a technical solution to deal with the spillover of telecom signals from Pakistani mobile services companies into the Indian territory.
