This year, the Border Security Force (BSF) in Tripura has caught a total of 675 illegal immigrants, which includes 55 Rohingya people from Myanmar. They also seized huge amounts of drugs: over 66,000 bottles of phensedyl cough syrup, more than 9,000 kg of ganja (a type of marijuana), and over 600,000 yaba tablets, which are dangerous drugs.
From January 1 to November 30, the BSF has detained 55 Rohingyas, 620 people from Bangladesh, and 260 Indians during their operations. Their main job is to keep a close eye on the 856-km long border with Bangladesh.
The BSF does a lot more than just guard the border. They fight against insurgency, protect the border’s safety, and stop cross-border crimes. They also work closely with local authorities and other security agencies to help keep the borders safe and maintain harmony with local communities.
In July, a meeting was held in Shillong, Meghalaya, where the BSF and the Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) talked about important issues to improve teamwork and support the people who live near the border.
When there was unrest in Bangladesh recently, the BSF worked with the BGB and other agencies to help Indian students and workers return home safely, providing them with all the assistance they needed.
During a program at the BSF headquarters in Shalbagan, Chief Minister Manik Saha praised the BSF for their hard work in protecting the international border. He also paid respect to the brave soldiers who lost their lives while serving and honored veterans of the 1971 war.
