Jammu: Asserting that anti-drone system is well intact, Inspector General, Border Security Force, Jammu Frontier, D K Boora on Friday said with an installation of the technology, drone activity from across the International Border has declined to a larger extent.

Speaking to media persons during a presser on the occasion of the 60th Raising Day here at the headquarters, the BSF Jammu Frontier Chief said, “anti-drone system is intact all along the International Border and technology installation has reduced the drone activity from across the International Border.”

He further said that the use of advanced technology to counter infiltration along the International Border is also well in place, adding, “additional troops have also been deployed in the area of Jammu Frontier to augment security grid as a part of winter mechanism.”

The IG BSF also stated that technical surveillance is being expanded and very soon entire border area will be under the physical and technological surveillance.

Boora also said that BSF is laced with hi-tech weapons and equipped with technology along borders.

On suspected Rohingyas movement or settlement along border areas, he said, “There are no reports of settlement of illegal immigrants (Rohingyas) close to the border in Jammu Frontier.”

But, he said that BSF is as usual maintaining high degree of alertness and security all along the International Border.

On recovery and infiltration attempts this year, the IG BSF said, “BSF Jammu is maintaining about 192-km of International Border with Pakistan and is also deployed along the Line of Control along side the Indian Army.”

“The year 2024 witnessed manifold challenges from the counterpart such as drone activities, smuggling attempts and unprovoked firing, but true to its tradition, BSF Jammu successfully thwarted all adversarial attempts and foiled their nefarious designs,” he said.

Boora also said that this year two Pakistani intruders were killed and apprehended two others who attempted to violate the International Border, adding, “BSF troops also seized about 7.659 kgs of narcotics on International Border and hinterland in the current year.”
