“To strengthen the border domination, mobilisation of troops have been done. Regular monitoring of suspicious activities of counterpart is being carried out through surveillance equipment,” he added.
“The BSF troops deployed on the Jammu International Border have been quite successful and consistent in foiling attempts from across the border by eliminating Pakistani intruders, seizing huge caches of arms and ammunition, narcotics and detecting tunnels in the past one year,” he said.
“With anti-drone technology and a slew of other measures, the drone activities by Pakistan have reduced for the past quite some time,” he said.
