India's Minister of state for Home Affairs, Mullappally
Ramachandran, informed the House that the intrusions are
"generally carried out by vehicle-mounted patrols, foot
patrols, by boats and even by helicopters."

difference in perception of LAC," he said.
In reply to a question whether government has taken
steps to provide protective wall or fence on our side to
prevent intrusion, the minister said, "No such protection wall
or fence exists along the border. Most of the area is in high
altitude and mountainous terrain".

guarding force. Regular presence and round the clock
patrolling and surveillance is carried out by ITBP. Border Out

are also taken through diplomatic channel by India's Ministry
of External Affairs," the minister said. PTI ABS
