Must read

Guwahati, Dec 1: The Border Security Force (BSF) Guwahati Frontier, since its inception, has been assigned to guard a very challenging and complex Indo-Bangladesh border in states of West Bengal and Assam with an area of responsibility of 509 Km along Bangladesh, including 91.726 Km long riverine borders, Charland and undulating grounds.

“To secure the assigned International Border on Indo – Bangladesh border, 11 BSF Bns are deployed under three sectors including a Water wing. The topographical complexities of the border gets further aggravated as the population lives in close proximity on both sides of the border and has ethnic & cultural similarities posing serious challenges to troops on ground. The socio–religio–politic dynamics of bordering districts of West Bengal and Assam also differs from each other resulting in entirely different security scenarios,” BSF press release stated.

Guwahati Frontier, Border Security Force has distinguished itself with flying colors in each and every task assigned to it over the years.
