New Delhi, Oct 23

"The espionage rings might have started from Kashmir. Our military as well as civilian intelligence outfits and investigating agencies have been pressed into action to bust the rings and to find their kingpins," the Minister said.

Government of India has just received a report from Islamabad, which specifically refers to the Pakistan government's stepped-up 'optimism' vis-a-vis the forthcoming decision from the World Bank on the future of the Baglihar hydropower project now under construction in the Jammu region.
