Pillars and fences along the borders are no match to alertness and bravery of soldiers guarding them which is further augmented by patriotic villagers liv[1]ing in close vicinity to the forward locations, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday. While launching a mo[1]bile application ‘Prahari’ prepared in-house by the BSF and the manual of the border guarding force, Shah also suggested that under the Vibrant Village Programme, the person[1]nel should make efforts for increasing tourism to villages but did not further elaborate on it. Security of the country’s borders cannot be ensured by pillars or fencing, but only by the bravery, patriotism and alertness of the soldiers stand[1]ing on the border, he said. The home minister said the BSF guards the most dif[1]ficult border of the country. After former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee concep[1]tualised ‘One Border One Force’, the responsibility of guarding borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh had come to the BSF. P
