Amit Shah Inspects BSF Outpost And Launches Plantation Drive

10 Jun 2026 CW Team

Personnel from the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) have planted more than 75 million (mn) trees since 2019 and will continue the drive. For the current year the minister indicated that between four million (mn) and six million (mn) saplings will be planted, with any that do not survive to be replanted, and that CAPF personnel will target 20 million (mn) trees in the next year. The minister stressed that sapling care should become a natural habit rather than a programme driven by orders.

The minister outlined plans for smart borders and a pilot project at seven or eight locations that will integrate local administration with technology. A quadrilateral security strategy will link district magistrates, superintendents of police, village patwaris and sarpanches with sensors, drones and smart fencing to create a leak-proof security grid. The government has approved the installation of 119 kilometres of new fencing to replace part of approximately 650 kilometres of fencing that is over 15 years old.

The minister said the Border Security Force confronts narcotics, human trafficking, arms smuggling and drone threats across Tripura, West Bengal and Bihar and that modernisation of outposts includes electricity, green energy and safe drinking water. The government has undertaken e-inaugurations and projects to improve housing and family facilities for personnel. He linked these measures with the wider goal of making India secure to achieve a fully developed nation by 2047 under the Prime Minister's vision.
