India to seal its borders

The South Asian country intends to completely shut two borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh, which would be more than double the length of the US-Mexico boundary. Although, 90% of India's border is fenced, there are still terrorists who are trying to intrude the country. Moreover, there may be as many as 15 million illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, and it has proved a huge challenge for India with implications for its resources and national security. However, sealing remaining 10% will be a painstaking effort, since it is a very difficult terrain, such as mountains, jungles, and rivers. Yet the government plans to complete it by the end of 2018.
