``Security forces in close touch with people of the state have pushed the militants to the wall, who are now either fleeing or surrendering before the authorities,'' Abdullah said here.

Security forces were completely geared upto thwart the desperate attempts of Pakistan to infiltrate militants into the state, he said. ``The state government has ensured that security forces fighting militancy in the state are equipped with modern weapons,'' Abdullah said.

He said the day was not far when the state would witness ``complete sunshine'' free of militants, ``Inshallah (god willing), the day is approachingfast''.

Abdullah said people of the state were not interested in violence perpetrated from across the border. ``The common man is more interested in his daily bread rather than bullets,'' he said.

Conceding that anti-national elements within the state were also trying to revive militancy in the state, the Chief Minister said ``we have our ways to tackle them.''

About the economic condition of the state, Abdullah said ``we have made some proposals and are hopeful to generate revenue to cater our needs.''

He said the state's tourism industry was also picking up fast and hoped more tourists would visit the state this year.

``After all when the security situation improves, the industry picks up,'' Abdullah said. ``People from the Mumbai film industry are also coming to the state now,'' he added.

He complimented the local people for extending a warm welcome to tourists and said ``without them, the situation would not have improved''.

Referring to the autonomy plan recommended by the Jammu and Kashmirautonomy committee on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said the report has been tabled in the state assembly and would be passed after discussion.

The eight-member committee, headed by state's works minister Gulam Mohiuddin Shah, presented the 184-page report to the state assembly on Tuesday for discussion.

The report, which extensively discussed the extent of erosion to the state autonomy from time to time, has called for `another compact' between the union and the state to set right the `wrongs' done over the last 40 years.

About the return of Kashmiri migrants, the CM said ``a plan has been worked and we hope it is approved by the Centre soon.''

He said the rehabilitation of migrants topped the agenda of National Conference.
