Quite a number of them have been done over the past few years. Could the Assistant Minister 3476 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 13, 2008 confirm that the Government is working on long-term solutions to have serious security infrastructure on the ground instead of resorting to operations which is a case of management by crisis? If we manage our security operators through management by crisis, then we are more or less operating like a militia. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that he is serious and is moving to have permanent security infrastructure on the ground in the said areas?"}
