Paper: GS – III, Subject: Internal Security, Topic: Border Management, Issue: BSF collaborates with DRDO to monitor Sundarbans border.
Context:
The recent collaboration between the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) aimed at enhancing surveillance capabilities along a critical 113-km stretch of the India-Bangladesh border in the Sundarbans.
Key Takeaways:
- The initiative is part of a broader strategy to combat illegal immigration and cross-border terrorism, particularly in light of recent security incidents.
Background
- Increased Vigilance: The BSF has intensified its monitoring efforts along the border due to a crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and potential terrorist activities.
- Operation Sindoor: This operation, initiated after the Pahalgam attacks in April, has accelerated efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants within 30 days of detention.
Challenges and Current Measures:
The collaboration between the BSF and DRDO represents a significant step towards bolstering border security in the Sundarbans. By leveraging advanced technology and improving infrastructure, the Indian government aims to effectively monitor and secure its eastern frontier against illegal immigration and potential terrorist threats.
