"Pakistan needs to take a decisive action against them. In case Islamabad is serious about taking action against terrorist outfits in their own country, they must dismantle these camps," he told reporters here.

Asked about the number of such camps and locations across the border, he said, "We need not go into their numbers and locations." The fact remains that these training camps are there and they need to be dismantled by Pakistani authorities, he added.

Pointing out that Pak Rangers had built a number of structures including bunkers and observation posts across the border after the Mumbai attack, he said "we did not react to these developments as it would have given Pakistan an excuse not to deal with terrorists in that country".

BSF is the largest border guarding force in the world with 2.25 lakh personnel and 30,000 more men would be added soon to guard the frontiers.

He said the government has sanctioned setting up of 500 Border outposts (BOPs) -- 300 in the eastern and the rest in the western sector. Of these, 33 will be upgraded and mordernised in Jammu frontier.
