NEW DELHI: A project to plug border gaps and deploy a “smart fence” along the riverine India-Bangladesh front in Assam is expected to be completed by July next year, the BSF chief said here on Sunday.
Border Security Force (BSF) Director General (DG) V K Johri said the project got delayed by about six months as the region received heavy rains, resulting in floods, this year.
The earlier deadline was December, 2019, he added.
The BSF chief was speaking on the sidelines of a press conference with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) DG Maj. Gen. Shafeenul Islam. (AGENCIES)
