The Union Home Ministry, which has been pitching for a 15 to 20 per cent hike in the money set apart for it, is looking forward to the Budget on Monday to see if its plea for more funds to tackle militancy and insurgency has been heard or not. Senior Home Ministry officials said there is an urgent need to tackle the problem of militancy, insurgency and Naxalism, and for that special attention needs to be paid to paramilitary forces.
