India to Launch Technology-Driven Smart Border Project Along Pakistan and Bangladesh Frontiers

Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that India will launch a technology-driven "smart border" project within the next year to secure the nearly 6,000 km borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. The initiative aims to make these borders impenetrable using drones, radars, smart cameras, and AI-based surveillance. Shah emphasized efforts to curb infiltration, cross-border smuggling, and illegal migration, and pledged to identify and deport all infiltrators. The government plans to coordinate with BJP-led state governments of Tripura, West Bengal, and Assam and will soon announce a high-powered demography mission to support border security.
