Tech solutions to combat drones along Indo-Pak border: BSF
New Delhi, Dec 1 (HS): The Border Security Force (BSF) chief said on Sunday here that the force was working on technical solutions to combat the threat of rogue drones along the India-Pakistan International Border.
Addressing the 55th Raising Day event of BSF at its camp here, BSF Director General V K Johri said the Line of Control (Loc) in Kashmir and the International Border in Punjab have become sensitive in recent times.
Johri said that they they had received reports about the activity of drones along the western border front (along Pakistan) in the recent past and they were working on technical solutions and taking important steps to tackle this issue.
“The force has expanded its ‘strategic capabilities’ by using new technologies and intelligence to guard over 6,386 km long borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh,” said Johri.
He added that anti-India forces are continuously trying to infiltrate across the border and the BSF is alert all the times to thwart such attempts.
The about 2.5 lakh personnel strong BSF was raised on this day in 1965 and is primarily tasked to guard the India and Pakistan borders apart from rendering a variety of roles in the internal security domain.
