According to the statement, the Core Group focussed on the need for a high level of synergy among all agencies in addressing the security concerns of Kashmir.
"Intelligence inputs indicate that Pakistan had intensified its efforts at increasing infiltration and ceasefire violations across the Line of Control.

The Core Group discussed the plans to ensure a robust counter-infiltration grid along the Line of Control, counter-terrorist grid in the hinterland and recent successes in anti-terror operations, added the statement.
"The intelligence inputs indicate efforts by anti-nationals and Pakistan proxies to calibrate increase in violence in the Jammu and Kashmir. Recent successes including the killing of terror tanzeems leaders and prevention of large scale IED attacks have blunted such efforts. The support of the Kashmir people has been critical in the success of the security forces," it added.
The Core Group discussed the need for continued intelligence-based anti-terror operations with a humane touch.
"In order to address the complete eco-system of terror orgsations in Jammu and Kashmir, the anti-terror operations are being supported by efforts to identify and arrest over ground workers who sustain the terror orgsations," the statement read.
It said that in the end, the senior commanders expressed satisfaction at the successful handling of the security situation and asked for continued efforts to maintain peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
