The government will install laser walls and other technologically advanced systems at the India-Pakistan border to thwart any infiltration attempt from across the border. This was stated by the Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju at Gurdaspur in Punjab yesterday. He said, the work in this regard will be completed in a year.<br/><br/>The "laser walls" or fence are being monitored by Border Security Force which guards the Indo-Pak International Border in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The decision to install these laser walls was taken by BSF two years ago as barbed wire fencing could not be installed in many infiltration prone areas due to treacherous terrain or marshy riverine topography.<br/><br/>Use of scientific technology and heightened vigil on riverine frontiers while guarding the Indo-Pak border were among the suggestions given by the Home Ministry-appointed committee. The committee, headed by former Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta, was set up following the terror attack on Pathankot air base. Mr Rijiju paid tributes to Saheed Ram Parkash on his 25th martyrdom anniversary, organized at Qadian town in Gurudaspur district.
