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.
I missed that it was from a Pak newspaper, which would completely explain the tone of the article.
“Pakistanis don’t really make very good neighbours.”
Or how about:
Muslims don’t make very good neighbors.
