The cow bells have been attached to fencing at the international border. If some intruder tries to cross it, the bells would generate a ringing sound, thereby alerting the BSF men, the DIG said.

He said that a trip layer is a cracker that bursts and emits light when the wire is touched, thus alerting the force about potential intrusions.

‘Ponchu’ net, he said, traps the leg of the intruder, making it difficult for him to walk.
