Advanced technology deployed along the International Border has led to a significant decline in drone activity, Inspector General (IG) of the Border Security Force (BSF), Jammu Frontier, D.K. Boora, said in Jammu on Friday.
Speaking at a press conference on the BSF’s 60th Raising Day in Jammu, the IG said the anti-drone system is operational across the border and that technological advancements have played a key role in reducing cross-border drone activity. He noted that the use of advanced technology to counter infiltration along the International Border is effectively in place.
Boora highlighted the deployment of additional troops in the Jammu Frontier as part of the winter security mechanism, which reinforces the security grid.
He said technical surveillance capabilities are being expanded and the entire border area will soon be under both physical and technological monitoring. “BSF is equipped with high-tech weapons and state-of-the-art technology along the borders.”
Regarding the movement or settlement of Rohingya refugees along the border, the IG clarified that there have been no reports of such settlements near the Jammu Frontier.
He assured that the BSF maintains a high level of vigilance and security along the International Border.
On infiltration attempts and recoveries this year, the IG noted that the BSF oversees approximately 192 kilometres of the International Border with Pakistan and collaborates with the Indian Army along the Line of Control. Despite various challenges, including drone activities, smuggling attempts, and unprovoked firing, the IG assured that the BSF Jammu successfully thwarted all adversarial efforts.
This year, the BSF killed two Pakistani intruders, apprehended two others, and seized approximately 7.659 kg of narcotics.
Drones have been used to drop weapons and drugs along the IB and in areas close to the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.
