Smart border fencing to be established
Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh plans to launch a digital smart fencing project along Assam state's border with Bangladesh in November. Based on Israeli technology, another pilot project is to set up along the international border with Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir state. The decision of smart fencing is expected to bring down the causalities of BSF personnel and it shall create an invisible electronic barrier on land, water, air and underground thus reducing the dependence on ground patrolling by troops. The two projects each covering a 5.5km border stretch along the border have got hi-tech surveillance system that would foil infiltration bids in most difficult terrains.
