Namaste Bharat: Rajnath Singh to launch "smart fencing" along Indo-Pak border today

India's first 'smart fence' pilot project, which entails deploying laser-activated fences and technology-enabled barriers to plug vulnerable gaps along frontiers, will be launched by Home Minister Rajnath Singh in two5-km each patches along the Indo-Pak border Monday.
Singh will travel to a forward area in Jammu to inaugurate the ambitious project as part of a day-long tour, a senior official said.
The technology is being implemented by the Border Security Force and senior officials of the paramilitary will present a demonstration of the activation and response mechanism of the 'smart fence' before the home minister, he said.
