India firms up its defence infrastructure along border

Indian security agencies have carried out a major defence infrastructure revamp including creation of ramps for army tanks and strengthening of BSF bunkers along the International Border with Pakistan, since the two sides announced a military ceasefire in 2021, officials said.

The first phase of the infrastructure renovation and creation of some new ones has been recently completed on a stretch of 26 kilometres along the front in Jammu while another 33 kilometres in the same region is being carried out, official sources said.

Jammu shares a 192 kmlong front of the total 2,289 kilometres of the India-Pakistan IB before it runs down towards Gujarat and Rajasthan on the country's western flank. The Line of Control (LoC) between the two neighbours falls majorly in Kashmir and it is about 772 kilometres long.
