On Friday, Home Minister Amit Shah announced the launch of the 'Smart Border' project, set to begin next year, aimed at establishing an 'impenetrable security grid' along India's borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. This initiative is part of the government's strategy to prevent infiltration and safeguard India's demographic integrity against what Shah termed a 'conspiracy' to alter it. Speaking at the KF Rustamji Memorial lecture hosted by the Border Security Force (BSF), Shah stated that the project will involve the integration of advanced technologies, including drones, radars, and high-tech cameras, to secure the extensive 6,000-kilometer border. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive design plan that will equip BSF personnel with the necessary tools to effectively manage border security. Shah also highlighted the importance of collaboration between the BSF and local authorities to identify and eliminate infiltration routes. He expressed confidence in the current governments of Tripura, Assam, and West Bengal, which are led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to uphold policies against infiltration. Shah's remarks suggest a shift in the government's approach to border security, moving towards a proactive stance that prioritizes technological advancements and local engagement.
