Indian Border Security Force (BSF) plans to put up a Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) in areas along the India-Bangladesh border, where it is difficult to put up a fence due to the nature of the terrain as well as check cross-border infiltration and smuggling.
The Border Security Force is hopeful that it will be able to plug the gaps in “vulnerable areas” along the country’s borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh in the next three to five years, BSF Director General K K Sharma has said. CIBMS is an integration of a number of new gadgets and technologies to ensure electronic surveillance of borders. These provide feeds to BSF personnel at the border outposts, where monitors would be installed, reports the Economic Times. In case of a threat, quick reaction BSF teams will intervene and neutralize it, the official said. “As of now, the CIBMS project will be rolled out in the vulnerable areas of India’s border with Bangladesh and Pakistan. We plan to implement the system within the next 3-5 years,” he told PTI in an interview on Friday (March 10).
