BSF today said that fencing and border posts, which were damaged by the recent floods, have been restored along 190 km long Indo-Pak International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The repair of the fencing where ever suffered damage has been carried out and posts which were affected have also been restored (along IB in Jammu frontier)," Inspector General (IG) of BSF, Jammu Frontier, Rakesh Kumar Sharma told PTI here.
He said that additional manpower has been deployed to keep enhanced vigilance and guard along the borderline with Pakistan.
"The fencing where damage has occurred, BSF has restored it through replenishment of its stores and little bit more damage, what-ever it is, has been strengthened through its additional manpower," the IG said.
Floods had affected most of the Border out Posts (BoPs) and three-tiers fencing and improvised fencing along riverine belts along Indo-Pak border in Jammu, Samba and Kathua district by submerging posts and washing out of the improvised fencing in large number riverine border sectors, as per reports.
