PM Modi visits Pathankot air base, says defence bases near border should have modern tech

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Pathankot air base and expressed satisfaction over the tactical response by the security personnel during the Pathankot attack.

However, noting that such attacks do not happen in future, Modi asked defence authorities to ensure that all bases near the border are made into "impregnable fortresses.”

Modi was briefed on how security personnel stopped attempts by the six terrorists to storm the technical area where vital and strategic assets were located.








National Security Guard commandos were called to handle the situation.

Modi said bases near the border areas should have modern electronic perimeter intrusion protection systems and proper flood-lighting and control centres to live-monitor the boundaries of these bases.
