India starts extending barbed wire fencing along border

06 May, 2007

India has started extending barbed wire fencing along the border deep inside Rann of Kutch in Gujarat state to what authorities claim prevent infiltration from Pakistan border. This region falls in periphery of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. It is a marshy, barren and treacherous terrain extending for several kms.
Indian authorities are extending barbed wire fencing so that no portion of Indo-Pak border remains easy for infiltration at night. The entire Rann of Kutch area, which starts after India Bridge, is a highly regulated area. It is under control of Indian Border Security Force presently. India is laying electric lines, installing large lights and power station.
