The country needs robust border management and adequate infrastructure to cope up with the foreign threat and also give a secure life to the population living along the dividing lines whether IB, LoC or LAC. The government’s proactive stand over the issue is in the interest of every soul which resides near borders and has been in pain since the last several decades due to indifference of successive governments. In this context, the Central Government has approved the continuation of the Umbrella Scheme of ‘Border Infrastructure and Management’ (BIM) over the 15th Finance Commission Cycle from 2021-22 to 2025-26. This clearly shows that the government is committed to improving border infrastructure and management. This decision will strengthen the border infrastructure for improving border management, policing and guarding the borders, which is quite necessary especially in J&K which is facing Pakistani aggression for the last over 3-4 decades. The money stipulated for the border management and infrastructure development is Rs 13,020 crore. This will help in the creation of infrastructures such as the construction of border fences, border floodlights, technological solutions, border roads and Border Outposts (BOPs) and Company Operating Bases (COBs) to secure the Indo-Pakistan, Indo-Bangladesh, Indo-China, Indo-Nepal, Indo-Bhutan and Indo-Myanmar borders. As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, the government led by PM Narendra Modi has already done a lot of work in raising border infrastructure, especially bunkers to save people from unprovoked firing from Pakistan side as earlier there used to be colossal losses due to unhindered fire from the enemy side. Reportedly, under Phase-I about 8,500 out of total 9,905 bunkers in five districts of Jammu province are ready for use by the villagers residing near the International Border and Line of Control with Pakistan. It is likely that under Phase-II 15,000 more community and individual bunkers will be constructed to make borders safe for the people living in the vicinity. It is however praiseworthy that through back channel talks India has successfully rejuvenated 2003 truce pact between India and Pakistan in February last year thus ensuring complete truce on borders with Pakistan although infiltration attempts and smuggling of arms, ammunition and narcotics is reported at times and many such attempts have been thwarted also. The dexterous government is treading smoothly in bringing relief and comfort to the border people and the border management initiatives will also help in easing the lives of border dwellers to level next.
