In the coming days, an advanced surveillance system will be deployed in both Punjab and Jammu sectors along the Indo-Pak international border, incorporating night-vision and optical cameras and a mix of radars to enhance observation, a top BSF official said.

The BSF will receive technical alerts if anyone attempts to intrude into Indian territory, and a new border fence is being installed that cannot be cut or climbed, the official said.
