Union Home Minister Amit Shah has admitted that it is not always possible to completely prevent infiltration across India's borders - a rare acknowledgment of limitations within his ministry and the Border Security Force (BSF).

Speaking to a national news channel on Saturday, Shah said, "The border is not an easy place to manage. There are rivers, forests, and hilly terrains where fencing or round-the-clock surveillance is not always possible.

Sometimes check posts get washed away. Those who have visited the Bangladesh or Pakistan borders know the challenges. It's easy to question while sitting in Lutyens' Delhi."
