The Union Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that by December 2018 India-Pakistan border would be sealed, for which the government is making an action plan. He made this announcement after concluding a security review meeting with home secretaries, and DGPs of the four states located nearby the LoC.
Action plan will be implemented before deadline
He further said the action plan will be continuously monitored at different levels to ensure we do not miss the deadline. The project would be monitored by the security agencies as well as the chief secretaries of the four states.
To implementation of the action plan, a monitory framework would be prepared for monthly, quarterly and annual review,” he said while interacting with the media.
Government to seal border will use most advanced security equipment
Besides the army, the government will use most advanced equipment for sealing patches on a difficult terrain. He also said that a new concept of Border Security Grid will be formed in the presence of all stakeholders as its members.
The concept “security grid” is new, therefore, we need time to give it a final shape. Soon, the centre government will issue a notification about this.
