"There has been a drop in cases of extremism in the northeast and naxal violence. Action against terror funding and circulation of fake currency will deal a blow to terrorism," Singh said.

The day is not far away when we will find a complete control over it, he said. He said that NIA as agency has earned a repute of being world-class investigation organization in only six years of its existence.

The Home Minister's comments come at a time when the NIA has launched a crackdown against separatists in Kashmir as part of a terror funding probe.
