Floods damage 110 km of India-Pakistan border fence, 90 BSF posts
Recent floods have severely impacted over 110 km of the India-Pakistan international border fence, damaging about 90 Border Security Force (BSF) posts in the Jammu and Punjab regions. The floods, described as the worst in Punjab since 1988, have led to submersion, uprooting, and tilting of the fence, necessitating a major restoration effort by the BSF. To secure the affected areas, the force is employing drone surveillance, large searchlights, and boat patrolling. Despite the challenges, the water levels are receding, and the BSF is poised to restore its operational capabilities swiftly, demonstrating resilience in the face of natural disasters.
