New Delhi: Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday said that in the coming days the government will establish a quadrangular security grid and introduce a new concept of "territorial security" to replace the traditional approach of mere border security.He was speaking at Bhuj in Gujarat, where he later interacted with Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, according to a statement released by the ministry."This initiative would entail a primary responsibility shared among the public, the civil administration, the local police, and the military, alongside the BSF." Shah said, adding that under the Smart Border Security Project, efforts are underway to fortify the security grids along the borders.The minister expressed confidence that the deployment of drones, radars, watchtowers, state-of-the-art technology and security personnel under the project, which entails investment of thousands of crores of rupees, will result in the creation of a robust security grid. Once established, no one will dare to breach India's borders, he said.Shah further said that the government is considering assigning additional areas of responsibility to the BSF, pointing out that the most significant gap in the security grid lies in the incomplete fencing along the West Bengal border. "While geographical conditions cannot be altered, we had previously faced difficulties in acquiring land even in areas where the terrain permitted the construction of border fencing," he said.The home minister said BSF personnel live in extremely harsh climatic and difficult geographical conditions. "However, upon visiting this place and seeing them standing guard at India's borders with smiling faces, one feels that, in comparison, our own work is quite simple," he said.BSF personnel deployed along the borders have to face every conceivable condition, enduring temperatures ranging from minus 45 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius, Shah said. In some regions, there lies the rugged desert of Kutch and the marshlands of Sir Creek and Harami Nala; elsewhere, BSF personnel are required to perform their duties while deployed amid the sand dunes of Rajasthan.Shah further said that a centre has been established in Banaskantha, with the aim of enabling the general public to gain insight into the arduous duties performed by BSF personnel. He said that over the past month alone, more than 2,50,000 people visited this centre to learn about and understand the nature of BSF duties."A survey was conducted using feedback forms to solicit the public's views regarding the BSF's work. At that time, many women wrote that they would feel immense pride if their sons and daughters were to join the BSF upon growing up," the home minister said.Shah said that a review of the BSF revealed that the Harami Nala and Sir Creek region lagged somewhat in terms of security preparedness and that a comprehensive action plan was formulated to establish a 'leak-proof' security grid in every respect-initiating work on watchtowers, connecting roads, drinking water supply, medical facilities, accommodation arrangements and new fencing. He added that within the next two years, this region will be permanently secured against the malicious gaze of the enemy.
