Beyond any doubt the Border Security Force (BSF) is rendering yeoman’s service to the nation by remaining at the forefront in ensuring safety and security along the borders and also in hinterland. As India is facing continuous threat of terrorism because neighbouring Pakistan has waged a proxy war and pushing terrorists to this side besides arms and ammunition and narcotics using conventional methods and also by taking help of latest technology acquired from various countries including China as lately drones have been used by the rogue nation to smuggle arms and narcotics. Despite innumerable challenges and multifaceted threats, the BSF has emerged as a force to reckon with because it has successfully thwarted many bids by Pakistan to dent the interests of the country by way of infiltration attempts, narcotics smuggling, etc. In order to counter the ill-conceived designs of Pakistan, the BSF never compromised on acquiring technology that can decimate Pakistan’s plans to harm India. In this regard, the border guarding force has now deployed additional troops along with anti-fog surveillance equipment on the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir as part of its winter strategy to foil infiltration bids and terror plans ahead of Republic Day celebrations. Surely, the BSF deserves kudos for the preparedness which the security force shows to take Pakistan head on and foil its plans there and then. Ahead of Republic Day, the BSF troops guarding the 200-km International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir have been put on alert to ensure high-degree of security against infiltrating terrorists. The surveillance and night domination exercises have also been increased along the border which witnesses dense fog during the months of January and February thus enabling the BSF to brace up the security grid so that enemies from across the border could not cause any kind of harm. It is pertinent to mention that terror mongers use fog as a cover to infiltrate to this side of the border and therefore steps taken by the BSF will ensure that no such thing could take place. Besides it has been reported that BSF has plugged all the gaps in riverine areas of Ujh, Basantar and Chenab making it impossible for the Pakistanis to do anything which may prove detrimental to the country.
