BSF and border security
- The Home Minister said that the Border Security Force guards the most difficult border of the country.
- After Atal Bihari Vajpayee conceptualized ‘One Border One Force’, the responsibility of our borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh has come under the responsibility of BSFs.
- He urged all the Border Security Forces that through the Vibrant Village program, they should make efforts towards increasing tourism in the village, making the village self-sufficient with complete facilities.
- The Union Home Minister said that a “BSF Drone/UAV and Cyber Forensic Lab” has been set up in Noida, through which captured drones have been thoroughly mapped for their linkages and locations across the border.
- Shri Amit Shah said that fencing could not be done at some places on the border due to difficult topography. BSF has developed in-house technology for electronic surveillance there, the cost of which is very low and its efficiency is very high.
- The Union Home Minister said that the government has worked for the development of Border India.
- 9 Integrated Check Posts have been developed and 14 more are in the process of being built.
