NADABET (GUJARAT): The Centre has launched a pilot project in Gujarat, Punjab, West Bengal and Tripura to provide technological support to secure country’s international borders, Union Home minister Rajnath Singh said here today.
“Till now our borders have remained secure because of the efforts of our jawans. Now we are introducing technology on a large scale to secure our borders using radar, laser, CCTV, sensor and many such things,” Singh said addressing Border Security Force (BSF) jawans at an event here near Pakistan border.
The project, called “Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System” envisages securing borders with latest technology to help BSF guard the frontiers.
“We have already initiated pilot projects in the states like Gujarat, West Bengal, Punjab and Tripura,” he said.
Asked about increasing infiltration bids along the Jammu and Kashmir border, Singh said, “Our jawans have also been killing terrorists in more numbers than before” and “successful infiltration” has decreased by 38 to 50 per cent in the last two years. (AGENCIES)
