The report says communication centres also remain operational and training camps have been relocated as subterfuge. The funding of terrorist groups is also on.Intelligence inputs indicate use of satellite phones by terrorists as alternate and secure means of communication. The report states that content analysis of signal traffic have revealed that ‘‘communication controls from Pakistan/PoK are still passing instructions to give strategic and tactical guidance to the terrorists on the ground, coordinate logistics, execute operational plans and relay provocative speeches of their religious leaders.’’It says the Government has maintained and reiterated that the resolution of all problems lies in peaceful means, and accordingly, has ‘‘kept its door open for dialogue with different organisations/sections of people in J-K.’’The report expresses concern at the ‘‘proliferation of Indian terrorist outfits in Bangladesh’’ and says the Government is pursuing diplomatic initiatives with Dhaka. Insurgent groups operating from bases in Bangladesh enjoy the patronage of the BDR, ‘‘which not only facilitates in setting up their camps and acquiring needful logistics but also extends them security cover.”
