NEW DELHI: A Home Ministry-appointed committee today flagged gaps and vulnerability along the Indo-Pak border and suggested use of scientific technology and heightened vigil on riverine frontiers.
The committee, headed by former Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta, was set up following the terror attack on Pathankot air base and gave its presentation to Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
The Sunday’s terror attack in Uri, in which 18 soldiers were killed, the terrorists were believed to have come from Pakistan crossing the Line of Control.
The committee flagged gaps and vulnerability in several areas along the Indo-Pak border and suggested ways to plug them, sources said.
The committee suggested that scientific methods like laser walls could not be installed in many infiltration-prone areas where due to treacherous terrain or marshy riverine fencing could not be installed so far. (AGENCIES)
