New Delhi: The Border Security Force (BSF) has adopted modern technologies like anti-drone systems and biometric devices to secure the frontiers of the country.
On the occasion of the 59th BSF Day Parade, BSF Director General Nitin Agarwal held a media briefing in Hazaribagh on Thursday.
BSF informed that it has deployed some hand-held static and vehicle-mounted anti-drone systems to counter the increasing threat of drones on the Indo-Pak border. Apart from this, the force has also started the registration of farmers having land ahead of fencing at the Punjab border on biometric machines at a few gates. The replacement of border flood lights with LED lights is underway.
On other borders, the ESVP (Electronic Surveillance of Vulnerable Patches) project is underway. The project is under installation in an area of responsibility (AOR) of seven frontiers on the Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh borders, i.e., Jammu, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, South Bengal, North Bengal and Guwahati. Out of 635 vulnerable patches, projects have already been installed on 328 patches.
However, at the India-Bangladesh border, BSF has started an innovative project called DOGS (Dog Operated Ground Surveillance) for surveillance under train bogies with the help of trained BSF dogs. (with ANI inputs)
