Ahir said the government, in tandem with the state government, had adopted a multi-pronged approach to contain cross-border infiltration, which included strengthening of border management and multi-tiered deployment along the international border/Line of Control and near the ever changing infiltration routes and construction and maintenance of border fencing.

The minister said the steps included construction of bunkers and bridges on nullahs, improved technology, weapons and equipment for security forces, improved intelligence and operations coordination, installation of border floodlight on the international border and synergising intelligence flow to check infiltration.

Replying to a separate question, MoS for home Kiren Rijiju said the government has decided to install modern anti-infiltration mechanisms on the border.

"In this regard, pilot projects of technological solutions in the form of comprehensive integrated border management system (CIBMS) have been approved for Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh borders," Rijiju said. He added that sufficient funds were available for other pilot projects under CIBMS.

Rijiju further said this was basically an integration of manpower, sensor networks, intelligence and command and control solutions and included electro-optic sensors (high resolution day and night cameras), radars and other devices.

New Delhi, Jan 9: JNU students who tried to march towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday protesting the violence on the university campus were stopped by police and later detained.

The police also resorted to baton charge to control the mob who tried to block the traffic at Janpath. Using loudspeakers, the police also appealed to the crowd to maintain peace.

Before the students tried to proceed towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan, a delegation of JNU Students' Union and JNU Teachers' Association also met Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry officials and demanded the removal of Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar from his post.
