GUWAHATI: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today inaugurated the project BOLD-QIT (Border Electronically Dominated QRT Interception Technique) on India-Bangladesh border in Dhubri District of Assam.
With an aim to check infiltration on 61km Indo-Bangla vordet in the Dhubri district, Home Minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the BOLD-QIT project. The BOLD-QIT project enables BSF to monitor Indo-Bangla borders with different kind of sensors in the unfenced riverine area of Brahmaputra along with its tributaries.
The 61 kilometer of border area in Dhubri district, where river Brahmaputra enters into Bangladesh consists of vast char lands and innumerable river channels thus making border guarding in this area a daunting task especially during rainy season. To overcome this problem, in the year 2017, Ministry of Home Affairs decided to go for technological solution besides the physical presence of manpower of BSF.
In January 2018, Information and Technology Wing of BSF undertook the project BOLD-QIT under Comprehensive Integrated Border Management system and completed it in record time with the technical support of various manufacturers and suppliers.
