The ATVs give BSF access to roads less travelled and helps in better patrolling and troop movement.

A BSF soldier keeps a watchful eye at the border along the Rann of Kutch. These soldiers are our first line of defence and ensure that we get peaceful sleep.

BSF soldiers patrol along 1175, the last pillar on the Indo-Pakistan border in the western frontier. Due to BSF's strict vigil, infiltration is nil along the western border in Gujarat.

BSF at the Rann of Kutch

In an area with high temperature, miles and miles of barren land and salty winds, jawans of the BSF give their 100 per cent.
8/11

BSF at the Rann of Kutch

A Fast Attack Craft (FAC) inducted by the BSF for effective patrolling in the Creek area. It is bigger and sturdier than the regular speed boats and can accommodate more soldiers and equipment allowing the force to go on patrolling for longer hours.
9/11

BSF at the Rann of Kutch

The FAC has a camera mounted on top which helps soldiers target something from inside the boat without actually getting down. The radar functionality gives it the edge during bad weather.
10/11

BSF at the Rann of Kutch

The Italian-made FACs are proving to be an effective patrolling vessel as well as weapon in BSF's arsenal.
11/11

Salute to the soldiers of the BSF for keeping our borders safe with their superhuman strength and ever-watchful eyes.
