Shillong: The Border Security Force (BSF) has intensified surveillance along the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya using the latest electronic gadgets, an official said on Saturday.
BSF’s Meghalaya frontiers’ Inspector General O.P. Upadhyay said that the BSF has further strengthened its vigilance along the India-Bangladesh border since last year but recently the troops’ vigilance further tightened with the use of latest electronic gadgets.
“Our troops are on highest surveillance round-the-clock. Senior BSF officials also from time to time supervise the intensive patrolling along the frontiers,” he told the media.
Upadhyay said the BSF personnel are taking all preventive measures during the close watch on the borders.
Another BSF official said that after the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, operational activities of the border guarding force have further intensified all along the 1,880-km Bangladesh border with four northeastern states.
Four Indian northeastern states of Tripura (856 km), Meghalaya (443 km), Mizoram (318 km) and Assam (263 km) share an 1,880-km border with Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, in a significant step toward strengthening border security and ensuring the safety of railway assets and passengers, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), in close coordination with the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Border Security Force (BSF) has started conducting joint patrolling in the sensitive areas along the India-Bangladesh border.
