To improve border security and reduce infiltration from Pakistan, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has deployed cutting-edge monitoring technology along sensitive parts of the international border. These include human-detection radars combined with cameras and command-and-control systems, which detect movement in real-time—even in low-visibility situations.
Unlike traditional cameras, micro-doppler radars may work in any weather, including fog and rain. They can penetrate impediments such as walls and fog, making them extremely useful in detecting hidden movements.
In the Jammu region, where confrontations with foreign terrorists have increased, seismic sensors are being used to identify underground tunnels frequently utilized by infiltrators. These sensors broadcast subsurface waves to detect holes or irregularities, which security officers then physically check.
Floodlights, watchtowers every 270 meters, and fencing along riverine areas have also been installed to strengthen border infrastructure. Security forces are also building 20-foot-deep ditches in high-risk regions such as Samba and Kathua to prevent tunnels from being constructed below detection.
This integrated, technologically advanced security grid represents a huge step forward in India's efforts to provide robust, round-the-clock border vigilance.
