Pulwama Attack Not An Intelligence Failure, Government Tells Parliament

There was no intelligence failure in the Pulwama terror attack, the government told parliament on Wednesday. The Home Ministry said "all agencies are working in a coordinated manner and the intelligence inputs are shared among various agencies on a real-time basis". "Jammu and Kashmir are affected by terrorism sponsored and supported from across the border for the last three decades. However, owing to the policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism and sustained action against the terrorists by the security forces, a large number of terrorists have been neutralized during the past few years," junior Home Minister G Kishan Reddy said in a reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.
