National News: In view of the frequent reports of infiltration from Bangladesh, the Border Security Force (BSF) has taken a major step for high-tech surveillance on the 4,096 km long India-Bangladesh international border. Under this, the BSF has deployed 2,500 soldiers equipped with body-worn cameras on the border. These soldiers equipped with cameras will keep an eye on every inch of the border.
The special thing is that with the help of these cameras, video recording of every activity happening on the border, such as arrests, attempts of illegal infiltration, or confrontations, can be done. This will not only ensure transparency, but clear digital evidence will also be present in case of any possible dispute or allegation. These cameras are equipped with night vision and will record every activity happening on the border.
Infiltration will be curbed
The purpose of these cameras is to increase transparency, ensure the safety of the soldiers, and keep a strict vigil on illegal activities. According to the BSF, this will not only curb infiltration from across the border but will also provide clear evidence in case of any dispute. The BSF is to receive about 5000 body-worn cameras. Out of which 2500 body-worn cameras have already been received. West Bengal: about 2,217 km 2. Tripura is about 856 km. 3. Meghalaya: about 443 km 4. Mizoram: about 318 km 5. Assam: about 263 km Of these, the largest border falls in West Bengal, which is considered a major center of cross-border smuggling and illegal infiltration.
What is the objective of the scheme?
According to BSF officials, this initiative is a big and decisive step towards preventing infiltration, smuggling, and illegal activities on the border. This will also ensure accountability of the soldiers and help in redressing any complaint related to human rights.
How many cameras will there be in total?
BSF is to receive a total of 5,000 body-worn cameras. Out of these, 2,500 cameras have been given to the soldiers deployed on the frontline in the first consignment. The live feed of these cameras can also be saved for review later. This beginning of high-tech surveillance on the border shows the technological advancement in India's border security. In the coming time, this step will set new standards of security, transparency, and surveillance.
