BSF-BORDER FENCING
India will have a patrol-less, multi-layered smart fence along its borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh by the later part of 2017.
Border Security Force, BSF Director General K K Sharma yesterday said big global firms are undertaking a technical evaluation for the same.
Sharma said the force, after getting sanctions from the
Union Home Ministry, is working to implement a Comprehensive
Integrated Border Management System( CIBMS).
Under the system, the security of these two sensitive and difficult terrain borders will shift from the regular troops patrolling system to a quick reaction team pattern where guards strike once they notice a blip of infiltration on their surveillance radars.
In this regard few pilot projects are already on- two in Jammu and one each in Punjab and Gujarat. One project will be done in Assam ' s Dhubri," Sharma said.
The DG explained once the CIBMS goes functional, aided by laser fence, surveillance radars, satellite imagery and thermal gadgets, the troops on ground will respond when there is an alarm of a infiltration bid in the multi-tier security ring comprising the regular fence and laser walls.
