India is developing indigenous technology to thwart the growing threat of drones on the country’s borders and it will soon be made available to the security forces, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Sunday.
“The best technology available in the world will be given to you for border security. It is the government’s commitment. To meet the threat of drones, the BSF, the NSG, and the DRDO are together working on an anti-drone defence system. I have full confidence in our scientists. Very soon we will have an indigenous anti-drone system in the country,” Shah said while addressing BSF personnel on the occasion of the force’s 57th Raising Day in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

The Home Minister appreciated this move by the force and said that such celebrations should indeed be made at places where the force’s jawans are setting examples of bravery every day and not in Delhi.“Any country can only progress and make its culture prosper when it is secure. And you are the ones who secure the country. The nation is proud of you. For the Modi government, the meaning of border security is national security. So remember, you are not just securing the borders but giving the nation an opportunity to secure its position in the world,” Shah said.

This shows we are committed to improving border infrastructure,” Shah said.The home minister also laid stress on improving relations between BSF personnel and civilians living in border areas.
