BSF to focus on optimising deployments along border

Gandhinagar, Aug 23 (PTI) Director General of Border Security Force Raman Srivastava today said their focus this year will be on optimising deployments and introducing latest technology to help prevent infiltration along the borders.

"Along the Indo-Pak border we have Haraminala and Sir Creek area which are absolutely inhospitable terrain, where there is no growth at all. It is very difficult for anyone or anything to survive in that area," Srivastava, who was on his maiden visit to the Gujarat Frontier, told mediapersons here.

"It is a marshy, swampy land in one part and dry desert in other. We are not able to access this area during certain periods of the year because we do not have the appropriate vehicles," he said.
