SHILLONG: The BSF, which maintains vigil along the 444-km stretch of the India-Bangladesh border that Meghalaya shares with the neighboring country, has asserted that it is determined to stop infiltration into the state.
Ravi Gandhi, additional DG of BSF (Eastern Command), Kolkata, on his visit to BSF Frontier Meghalaya, reviewed and assessed the various operational and administrative issues and said the local population did not accept infiltrators who “later become a burden on the economy”.
Expressing his determination to stop infiltration, he provided a clear direction and valuable tips and asked the BSF personnel to remain “extra vigilant” and emphasised that security along the border has been bolstered to prevent any infiltration or illegal entry.
“He also appreciated the efforts being made by the field commanders and border men to curb attempts at infiltration and other trans-border crimes despite working in adverse climatic conditions and the tough terrain of the state. He stated that the BSF remains committed to maintaining the integrity and security of the nation’s borders,” a statement issued by the Meghalaya Frontier HQ of the BSF here said on Sunday.
The BSF said the ADG went to the East Khasi hills bordering areas to assess the operational and technical issues and stressed upon the fact that the BSF was manning the India-Bangladesh border in a “very professional and dynamic manner” despite of its myriad area specific issues.
On Sunday, the ADG chaired a joint meeting with the civil administration and police officers of Garo Hills district.
