BANGALORE, Feb 2 (IANS): Defence Minister AK Antony on Tuesday said security in all border areas, including Arunachal Pradesh, was being strengthened to meet any eventuality or threat.
"We are strengthening security apparatus on all borders across land, sea and air to meet any eventuality or threat," he said.
Antony was talking to reporters here after witnessing the flight display of several aircraft being produced for induction in the Indian Air Force by 2014.
The defence minister said strengthening security on borders was an act of deterrence and not for confrontation. India, he noted, was for maintaining friendly relations with all its neighbours.
"The security beef up is not just in Arunachal Pradesh, which is an integral part of India. The beef up was to increase our deterrence against any eventuality," Antony asserted.
