With surgical strikes, Narendra Modi govt gave befitting response to border incursions: Amit Shah

Jaisalmer: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that the Narendra Modi government at the Centre ensured a prompt response to any incursion on the country's borders by launching surgical strikes.

Speaking on the occasion of the BSF's 57th Raising Day celebrations here, the Union Home Minister also said it is the government's top commitment to provide the world's best technology to the force.

Shah said India is developing anti-drone technology and it will soon be provided to the security forces. Drones and unidentified flying objects have been sighted along the sensitive border with Pakistan post the 2019 abrogation of Article 370, according to central security agencies.
