We are carefully examining every activity across the border line and will take appropriate action whatever action is required to be taken (to foil any such activity from across)," Inspector General BSF, Jammu Frontier, Rakesh Sharma told reporters here today.
IG Sharma was replying to a question about cross-border activities along border and situation along the International Border (IB) since the director general-level talks between the Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers last month.
