Correct Answer:
D. Rajnath Singh
Explanation:
In March 2019, the then Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the BOLD-QIT (Border Electronically Dominated QRT Interception Technique) project. This advanced surveillance system was installed along a 61-km riverine stretch of the India-Bangladesh border in the Dhubri district of Assam. The project is part of the Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) and utilizes high-tech sensors, microwave communication, and day-and-night cameras to provide real-time data to the Border Security Force (BSF). This technological solution was implemented to secure the porous Brahmaputra river boundary where traditional physical fencing is difficult to maintain, thereby helping to curb cross-border crimes and infiltration.
