Home Ministry Works On Israel-Type Fencing Along 2,300 km Border With Pakistan

[ashok321]

The government plans to seal the international border with Pakistan, spread over 2,300 km. Union home minister Rajnath Singh is in Jaisalmer to chair a meet of chief ministers and home ministers of the four border states- Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

An Israel-type highly secured fencing may come up along the Indo-Pak border to check infiltration from across the border as the government is exploring the possibility of installing such a barrier in the sensitive frontiers of Punjab and Jammu.

The Friday’s meeting will deliberate on measures to manage the Indo-Pak border where there is a spurt in tension ever since the September 18 Uri attack in Kashmir and last week’s surgical strikes across the LoC.

The government has meanwhile, put airports in four states that border Pakistan — and in the national capital — on high alert, keeping in mind the security environment over the past few days.

Around two dozen airports in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat besides Delhi will hold more random and detailed checks of passengers and their baggage. Also, parking and loading areas are being specifically monitored.

The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has asked police chiefs of all the four states besides the CISF and other central forces involved in airport security to be “extra careful”.

Intelligence agencies have already warned the government that Pakistan may try to push more terrorists following the surgical strikes. According to an intelligence assessment, Pakistan spy agency ISI has gathered more than 100 terrorists to be pushed into the Valley.

So what happens when Pak bombards these type of fencing with mortar shells ? isnt it costly .. Israel's neighbours dont do mortar shelling when there is a ceasefire violation but in the case of India- Pakistan its different .

It will be a costly affair to finish it and to maintain it

Bhai Jaan it does not mean walls will erupt at the border, meaning Secure border (like our best friend, "Israel" Technically .

Indian defense companies are capable to place the border fence.

DRDO wrote to the civil aviation ministry saying that installation of a battlefield surveillance radar — a shortrange portable surveillance equipment designed by DRDO and produced by Bharat Electronics Ltd.

Battlefield surveillance radars will help detect movement around the airport and about 1,200 of these are being used by the Indian Army and the Border Security Force.

India is fast developing a huge capability called 'C4ISR' or 'command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance'. The country has already put in place an Aerospace Command and experts who understand the nature of the 'surgical strikes' acknowledge that this new tri-services body played a key role in planning and execution of the midnight attacks.

but silently and steadily the 17,000 strong work force of ISRO contributes to keeping the lives of 1.2 billion Indians secure.

Nobody doubts that ISRO's eyes and ears facilitated 'surgical strike' in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) at the staging points for terrorists. In years to come the role of India's space assets will play a much bigger role if and when hostilities break out on our borders.

Kiran Kumar, chairman of ISRO, says, "The Indian space agency will not be found lacking in helping secure India's national interests now and in future."

Today, India has 33 satellites in orbit around the earth and one in the Martian orbit. These include 12 communications satellites; 7 navigation satellites; 10 earth observation satellites and 4 weather monitoring satellites. This is one of the largest constellation of satellites in the Asia-Pacific region. Each bird is tailor-made for a specific purpose and each when needed helps protects India's supreme national interests.

India has some of the sharpest eyes in the sky and to prepare for the 'surgical strikes' India's best bird in the sky, the Cartosat 2-series satellite launched as recently as June 22 played a key role.

From its 526-km perch, this bird can peer at every object in Pakistan and can easily count the number of cars parked in the grand mansion of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. With its almost 0.65-m resolution as it rotates the earth every 90 minutes this formidable spy in the sky can count each and every tank, truck and fighter aircraft parked anywhere in Pakistan or for that matter anywhere India desires.

Speaking about the capabilities of this ultra-sharp satellite, Kumar said "The Cartosat 2 series has a unique capability of capturing a 1-minute video, which despite its enormous speed of 37 km a second, is able to focus at a single point for a minute."

In addition, there were three other earth imaging satellites Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2 and Resourcesat-2 that provide top class imagery during day time. Going further, ISRO seeks to develop satellites that have a resolution of 25 cm in the very near future.

In contrast, Pakistan has no such capability as its space program has hardly lifted off. Former ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair says even China does not have such high resolution satellites, the best China has is about 5-m resolution.

This system gives better than 20-m accuracy for navigation signals akin to the American Global Positioning System (GPS) in an envelope which extends about 1,500 km from the border on all sides.

Only America and Russia have similar capability over the South Asian region, China is still putting in place its satellite navigation system.
