The Deputy Minister for Home Affairs declared that the estimate for building a fence across the Line of Control, the unofficial boundary between India and Pakistan, in Jammu & Kashmir has tripled. The current estimate is more a thousand crores of rupees, close to Rs. 1300 Crores. I wonder what kind of fence, might that be! Could it be a chain link fence, a barbed wire fence or a concrete reinforced wire mesh fence? How far away from the fence watch tower would be, how many men each tower will be posted with and what would be the interval between those towers and the flood lights? What would be the rate of illumination of those flood lights?

I am not apologetic about rebutting the Home Secretary or the Home Minister.. Pakistan sends infiltrators through the line of control and through whatever channel they can operate. Indian Border Defense Force and the Indian Army are always made to be on their toes to control such infiltration. Pakistani infiltrators also penetrate through India’s sea coast and stage carnage within India. Indian police and other internal security agencies are sweating to control that too. Neither the Indian Defense forces nor any other agency seem to be interested in a joined operation to present the domestic terror arising out of such infiltration and attack on the Indian soil.
