Pakistan’s nefarious acts of pushing infiltrators into India and encouraging terrorist elements had made the western frontier of the Border Security Force (BSF) very sensitive and had foiled many such anti-India designs in the recent past, creating a sense of despair among cross-border intruders and smugglers, BSF Director General (DG), Rakesh Asthana, said on December 2, reports The Times of India. DG, Asthana in his address at the BSF’s raising day ceremony held at Chawala (Chhawla) camp in New Delhi, said, “BSF would like to assure the countrymen that all attempts by the anti-national forces will continue to be defeated by our alert personnel”. Also, recalling recent incidents of drones being sent across the western border to smuggle weapons -- including one in June 20, 2020, when a drone carrying a payload of weapons was shot down by BSF near the International Border (IB) in Kathua District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) -- the BSF DG declared that the force was trying to find technical solutions to tackle the drones.
