The steps taken in this regard inter-alia include:
# Effective domination of the border by carrying out round the clock surveillance of the borders by patrolling nakas
(border ambushes) and by deploying observation posts all along the international borders of the country. The riverine segments of international borders of the country are being patrolled and dominated with the help of water crafts/speed boats/floating Border Out Posts (BOPs) of Border Security Force( BSF) water wings.
# Construction of fence, patrol roads, floodlighting systems and additional Border Out Posts.
# Introduction of force multipliers and Hi-Tech surveillance equipments. Continuous efforts are made to procure the latest surveillance equipments fully equipped with day and night vision devices for further enhancing the border domination.
# Raising the issues of infiltration from across the border during various meetings with counterpart countries i.e. Company Commander Meeting, Commandant Level Meeting, Sector Commander Level Meeting, Frontier Level Meeting and Director General Level Talks.
# Vulnerability mapping of the Border Out Posts (BOPs) which are sensitive with regard to illegal migration/cross border crimes along the Indo-Bangladesh Border have been carried out. These identified BOPs have been strengthened by deploying additional man power, Special Surveillance Equipment, vehicles and other infrastructure support.
# Up-gradation of intelligence network, co-ordination with sister agencies and conduct of special operations along the borders.
# Aerial Recce along the borders is also carried out from time to time.
