contested borders is nothing new. Most of the Palestine economy and resistance is directly linked to 1200-odd tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza Strip separation barrier. A similar tunnel was discovered in Jaisalmir area but was detected well before it could be used for narco smuggling.

Home Ministry, in the meanwhile, has decided to procure the Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) for immediate installation on IB. The UGS can detect any movement above or under the ground and relay an alert in real time to the control room. BSF had on August 9 issued an Expression of Interest (EoI) for procuring UGS, a device used extensively by the US to curb infiltration on its border with Mexico and also by Israel. The US has also planted palm-sized concealed UGS devices all over Afghanistan, which would detect anyone moving closer to their troops and report the locations back to American control rooms.
