Rajnath Singh Launches Smart Fencing Project ‘BOLD-QIT’ on Indo-Bangladesh border

• The Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the project BOLD-QIT (Border Electronically Dominated QRT Interception Technique) on March 5, 2019 on 61 km Indo- Bangladesh border in Dhubri district of Assam.
• BOLD-QIT is a project under Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS).
• The project makes use of technological solutions like sensors for border guarding as it was not feasible to construct border fencing physically along riverine border.
• The CIBMS project aims to help BSF in detecting and controlling the cross border crimes like illegal infiltration, smuggling of contraband goods, human trafficking and cross border terrorism etc.
