Request for interceptor awaiting response from Home Ministry: BSF official - The Economic Times

JALANDHAR: The Border Security Force has sought mobile interceptors to effectively stop smuggling of drugs from across the border and is awaiting the Union Home Ministry's response, a top BSF official said today.

"The Chief of BSF's Punjab Frontier had written a letter to the Home Ministry seeking facilities of mobile interceptor almost over a year ago. We are waiting for response from the Ministry," the official told PTI.

"The request is under consideration and we hope the ministry approves this facility for the Punjab Frontier as soon as possible," he said.

Former Inspector General of Punjab Frontier A K Tomar had written the letter to the Home ministry requesting for mobile interceptors as the force felt that it will allow them to keep a tab on the activities of smugglers.

"Plans to smuggle contraband from both the sides take place on mobile conversations. If we have interceptors, we will be able to trace telephone calls and thus prevent smuggling," he said.

On the crucial border fencing, which was damaged at many locations on the 553 kilometres long international border, the IG said, “A high level committee in the MHA has in principle agreed to install new border fencing in 130 kilometres of area at different locations. An estimated Rs 72 crore budget was passed for this project at the international border.”

I'm sure the DRDO has something in its stable that fits the bill.

I was expecting a serious reply but nice to see Elite members also use Sarcasm frequently

Lol, I was actually being serious. IIRC the DRDO had delivered some system like this (albeit not mobile) for a few jails in India to locate, intercept and subsequently block cellular device transmissions.
