Which two borders of india does the border security force protect

A few days back we had written an article on Border Security Force of India (BSF) and in Jammu & Kashmir too Indian Army guards the border with the help from BSF. Although all the forces of India do an incredible job to guard our country and its citizens, usually we end up giving more credit to Indian Defense Forces and forget to mention the other Central Armed Police Forces. Out of five Central Armed Police Forces, BSF primarily takes care of the International Border of India during peacetime and helps the Indian Army to manage the border during wartime. In this article, we would be discussing the Border Security Force of India, the organization of BSF, various divisions of BSF India, and important roles played by BSF India during war and peacetime. We hope it would be helpful for all our readers and they would know more about other Armed forces of India. Qucik Navigate: • • • • • What is The Border Security Force BSF stands for Border Security Force and it was raised after the India-Pakistan war of 1965. Before 1965 Indian border with Pakistan was guarded by the State Armed Police Battalion. During the war of 1965, Pakistan attacked Sardar Post, Chhar Bet, and Beria Bet on 9 April 1965 in Kutch. It exposed the inadequacy of the State Armed Police to cope with armed aggression due to which the Government of India felt that Indian Border would be more protected if it is under control of a centralized force rather than a distributed force. Therefore BSF was born on 1 st Dec...

New Delhi: An apparently unilateral decision taken by the Centre last week to extend the jurisdiction of the Border Security Force (BSF) up to 50 km inside international borders in states such Assam, West Bengal and Punjab has created a political storm. PREMIUM After deliberations between several secretaries, state governments and security forces, the BSF came into existence on December 1, 1965 (PTI) Through a gazette notification on Monday, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) amended an earlier notification issued in July 2014, standardising the jurisdictional area under BSF to 50 km in the border states of Punjab, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Gujarat and Assam when it comes to making “arrest, search and seizure” under Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920 and the Passport Act, 1967. West Bengal and Punjab are governed by Trinamool Congress and the Congress respectively, both of which are staunch rivals of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). HT takes a look at BSF’s role, its history and impact of new notification: What does the new notification say? Exercising the powers under the BSF Act of 1968, the new notification issued on October 11 states that the jurisdiction of BSF extends to “the whole of the area comprised in the States of Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya and Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and so much of the area comprised within a belt of fifty kilometres in the States of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, ...

The pace of border security projects in India has accelerated over the past two years. A prime example of this has been the Securing and managing its 15,106 km long land border and 7,516 km long coastal boundary is one of India’s national priorities yet remains a major challenge for the country. The Department of Border Management, managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), is tasked with securing most of India’s borders, with some of their key objectives being to prevent infiltrations and drug smuggling as well as as facilitating trade and the safe movement of people. The border security scenario in India is marked by many threats, with different sectors of the border posing different challenges and complexities. The threats to India are arguably In the 1980s, the Border Security Forces (BSF) obtained hi-tech systems such as Hand Held Thermal Imagery (HHTI) systems, Long Range Reconnaissance Observation Systems (LORROS), and Battle Field Surveillance Radars (BFSR) that greatly enhanced the detection ability of BSF personnel. Despite this modernisation process, however, there are still problems in the current system. Some shortcomings include significant In the last couple of years there have been several significant militant attacks which have once again exposed the vulnerability of India’s borders. Prominent among these was the In 2012, the MHA released an expression of interest (Eol) in CIBMS as a potential high-tech solution for border security. Nevertheless, it wa...

New Delhi: The Border Security Force (BSF), usually tasked with protecting the country's borders, has readied itself to tackle the challenges posed by Cyclone Biparjoy. The powerful cyclone is expected to make landfall near the Jakhau coast in Gujarat around evening tomorrow, and traverse along the Rann of Kutch up to Rajasthan. "The route prediction of Biparjoy is all along where we are posted in the Kutch area. So keeping that in mind, we have made arrangements not only to protect our troops but also civil administration along those areas," said a senior BSF officer. The force that guards the Kutch creek area has pulled back its floating border outposts since the cyclone is moving in that direction, he said. "All border outposts have been moved back to non-operational areas. Keeping in mind the impact of the cyclone, some areas have been dug up along the bay and the outposts have been parked safely," he added. The cyclone is expected to pass along the India-Pakistan international border. In addition to its security operations, the force has also mobilised requisite resources for rescue operations. It is also coordinating with the civil authorities to ensure all necessary support to the locals. About 50 villagers from Gunao village near Jakhau coast have been shifted to the Gunao outpost of the BSF. Ravi Gandhi, Inspector General, BSF-Gujarat, visited the coastal areas of Bhuj to oversee the measures being adopted to mitigate the devastating effects posed by the cyclone. ...

The story so far The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), The notification replaces a 2014 order under the BSF Act, 1968, which also empowers the force to conduct counter-insurgency operation in Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya. Though Jammu and Kashmir was not mentioned in the 2014 order, references to it exist in a previous such amendments in 1973.

By Kamaljit Kaur Sandhu: The Border Security Force (BSF) clarified on Thursday that the decision to extend the jurisdiction of the security force to a 50 km belt along the international border in Punjab, West Bengal and Assam was taken to “give uniformity to the jurisdiction" across the states. In an official statement, the BSF said the step was taken to "give uniformity to jurisdiction" and that the "amendment" will aid the border-guarding force in effectively curbing trans-border crimes. "The amendment will aid the border guarding force in effectively curbing trans-border crimes and the new amendment brings in "uniformity" for its operations in the border states of Punjab, West Bengal, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Assam where it can now operate within a 50 kms area from the border," the BSF said. Some reports suggest that the Centre has empowered the BSF to conduct searches, arrest suspects and make seizures up to an area of 50 km inside the Indian territory from the international border. Earlier, the BSF was only empowered to take action up to 15 km inside Punjab. Several political party leaders, including Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and state's Deputy Chief Minister S Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa questioned the intent of the BJP-led Centre behind the move. Urging Union Home Minister Amit Shah to 'immediately roll back this irrational decision', I strongly condemn the GoI's unilateral decision to give additional powers to BSF within 50 KM belt running along the ...
