“An orange line of fear...”
“Gracefully, Pakistan has no contribution to erecting these hideous floodlights across the border. They were put by the Indian government”
These statements are pretty telling of where the author’s sympathies lie, and it ain’t with the Indians. Considering how many attacks India has suffered which originated in Pakistan, and the ongoing discovery of violent factions in Pakistan which are closely intertwined with the Pak government, I would say India is completely justified in putting these lights up. Cockroaches tend to run for the shadows when the lights go on.
That article was from a Pakistani newspaper, no wonder they think it is hideous. The fence is within Indian borders (about 150m/500ft). Anyone approaching the fence from the Pakistani side is liable to be shot at sight, especially in the Kashmir region.The Indian army routinely uses ambush teams to neutralise any unwelcome visitors. The whole area is covered with motion sensors & IR cameras.
When a country like India spends that much on a fence, you know its because they have no real choice. Pakistanis don’t really make very good neighbours.
