Immigration ,infiltration , Naxalite , smuggling , Drug trafficking across the border areas have caused a serious threat to the National Border management security. India shares border with 7 countries which pass through 17 states of India .

India shares its largest border with Bangladesh . We have the maximum number of ill legal migrants coming from Bangladesh to India and the borders supplies massive amount of drugs into the country . The insurgency get good amount of supports from external forces especially Pakistan which help them to open grounds for illegal activities in India .

We require a combination of both technology and manpower to tackle the threat at the border region , correct information and cooperation among the people are required with high training forces and better equipment to end infiltration and terrorist in the region which is a threat to National Border Security management .
