India- Pakistan border to soon have a concrete wall: Sources

New Delhi: To keep a control on the increasing tensions at the border, the Narendra Modi government is mulling to take serious and extreme steps. Home Minister Rajnath Singh in security meet on Friday said that a "strong wall will soon be constructed along the Indo-Pak border", similar to the Israeli West Bank wall in order to check cross border terrorism. The wall will be completed by December 2018. Home Minister on Friday held a meeting with the Chief Ministers of the states falling on the India and Pakistan border like Punjab, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir in Jaisalmer. The Home Minister briefed the states on the same. Also, the recommendations put forth by the Madhukar Committee were also put on the table. This will be the first ever construction of a solid wall at the border. Also, to ensure security at the adjoining lakes and rivers, laser technology will be used to make a virtual electric wall.
