All difficulties linked to the fence project have been handled, and any obstacles discovered during the execution of the goal in the future would be handled as well, said the minister.
For a long time, India has been constructing walls along its sensitive border with Pakistan and Bangladesh to plug weak and infiltration-prone regions, and there is a lot of work being done to safeguard the borders.
The border management division of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Border Security Force have accelerated the deployment of smart fences, advanced surveillance devices, and anti-infiltration alarms along the two countries' borders under the Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS).
