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 .
