Main Body
The central government has increased the jurisdiction of the forces to cover 50km area from the border in Indian territory in states of Punjab and West Bengal.
Necessity of such action:
Increased instances of terrorist infiltration along PK border
Use of drones for arms and drugs smuggling in border villages
Illegal immigration of refugees and others along the borders
Improve the operational capabilities of Police forces (CAPF).
Reduce the incidences of violence and maintain internal security
Potential issues in this :
Overlapping jurisdiction of state police and CAPF (IGF)
State-centric police as a state subject → state CAPF in the jurisdiction of state
Lack of coordination amongst central and state forces reason leading the charge as far experts
Past incidences of human rights issues and some corruption by the CAPF not resolved.
These could increase due to increased jurisdiction.
Way forward:
Improve the coordination between police forces of state and center
Usage of intelligence agencies to counter threats.
Integrated comprehensive Border Management system (ICBMS)
Technological up[illegible]liftation of the forces.
Infiltration and smuggling pose major external security threats. Upgrading the CAPF role will help to counter threats to some extent.
