In Rajya Sabha, Ministry of Home Affairs shared the number of infiltrations from neighbouring countries during the last two years in a written reply, reports ANI.
“Certain instances of supply of weapons via drones from across the Pakistan border have come to the notice of security and law enforcement agencies. Government is taking various steps to meet such challenges,” the Ministry of Home Affairs informed Rajya Sabha.
“These steps include effective surveillance, streamlining intelligence set up, capacity building of forces, patrolling on the borders, sensitization of local population in border areas, establishment of observation posts, modern and hi-tech surveillance equipment use, etc.” it said.
“Government is regularly monitoring progress of fence work. BSF has deployed personnel along with floating Border Out Posts and boats for guarding riverine border on Indo-Bangladesh Border, along with floodlights/High Mast Lights installed to cover small river/nallah gaps along the border,” it added.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
