| Army to upgrade communication network in border areas | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 25: The Corps of Signals plans to upgrade the communication network in the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
Official sources said that the need for further strengthening and
renovating the communication system has been felt following reports
that highly sophisticated communication network across the LOC had
facilitated Pakistani troops to remain touch with various areas and to
monitor the movement of Indian forces.
Reports said that the Corps of Signals plans to start the upgradation
scheme in Tangdhar sector in north Kashmir.
According to these reports, in various border areas the communication
network has been affected by weather vagaries, including heavy snow
during the winter months.
At a number of places in the border areas the optical fibre cords need
to be replaced by new stuff as the old fibres have become outdated.
Reports said that whether in peace or war the communication system
needs to remain intact.
As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned the border belts have
remained tense, even in peace times, because of frequent infiltration
bids by militants from across the LOC and the International Border.
During the last 21 years the border has been used by the Pakistani
agencies for smuggling weapons, ammunition and explosives into Jammu
and Kashmir which the militants have been using while targeting
security forces and political leaders.
It is in this context that the Corps of Signals has decided to further
strengthen and renovate the communication network which was required
for transmission of messages from one unit or from one post to the
other border outpost.
Official sources said that improved communication system in the border
areas could be used for intercepting messages sent or received by
militants and their handlers across the border. In certain cases the
Corps of Signals experts have been inconvenienced by power shortage
and load shedding in running some equipment and hence it has decided
to install additional number of generators in the border areas which
could be used also for keeping sensors and other gadgets besides the
computers functional.
