New Delhi: In order to plug loopholes in the porous and unfenced borders along Pakistan and Bangladesh, India will soon set up a “smart fence” mechanism as part of an over Rs 4,500-crore modernisation plan being implemented by the BSF.
The country’s largest border guarding force has recently begun the trial of these sophisticated and technical smart fencing systems in a four-km stretch in Jammu and Punjab sectors where fencing with barbed wires is not possible due to difficult topography or inclement weather.
The security force is also undertaking an ambitious upgradation of its surveillance equipment, guns and artillery to effectively secure over 7,000-km border on the western and eastern flanks of the country.
