Indian Army Plans For A 'Smart Upgrade' To Fence Along LoC

To improve border surveillance and keep infiltration under check, Indian Army is planning a 'smart upgrade' for the fences along LoC with Light Detection & Ranging sensors, infrared sensors, and cameras. Reportedly, testing is underway and the fences will be upgraded at the cost of Rs 10 lakh a kilometre, intended to upgrade 60km this year. The present fencing, which was built between 2003-2005 has undergone degradation owing to time and environmental conditions.
