New Delhi, Mar 2 (IBNS) Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju in a written reply to a question by Majeed Memon and S. Thangavelu in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday said that installing laser wall is one of the integrated measures taken by the Border Security Force (BSF) to check terrorist infiltration along Indo-Pakistan border.
The laser technology developed by BSF has been designed to cover all the shortcomings experienced in the use of laser wall at various places in the past. The present technology has been found working satisfactorily to cover the unfenced riverine stretches, said the minister. 
 
He also said checking infiltration across borders has always been a top priority for the Union government. 
 
According to the reply, the Government of India along with state governments, have adopted a multi-pronged approach to contain cross border infiltration, which inter-alia, includes strengthening of border management and multi-tiered deployment along the international border, monitoring of infiltration routes, construction of border fencing including plugging the gaps through technological solutions, weapons and equipment for security forces, improved intelligence and operational coordination.
