'Smart' blueprint for sealing Indo-Bangla border
The Central government has prepared a 'smart' blueprint to completely seal the Indo-Bangladesh border in Assam by June next year. As per the blueprint, Assam's 60.7 km long riverine and unfenced border will be sealed by deploying smart technology and non-physical barriers. The plan reportedly includes the use of hi-tech surveillance tools like radars and hand-held thermal imagers.
