India has a
land border of over 15,000 KMs, which it shores with seven countries ( Pakistan
, China, Bangladesh , Nepal, Myanmar, Bhutan , and Afghanistan ) . Further it
has a coastline of 7,500 KMs.
1. Management of international lands and
coastal borders.
2. Strengthening of Border Guarding
3. Creation of infrastructure such as
roads, fencing, and lighting of borders.
Construction
of border outposts is one of the components of infrastructure at border areas.
The standing committee on Home Affairs (2017) noted that the proposal to
construct 509 outposts along the India-Bangladesh Border and India-Pakistan
Border had been reduced to 422 outposts in 2016. It recommended that such a
reduction should be reconsidered since 509 outpost distsance to 3.5 KMs , which
is important for the security of the country.
