Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) [India], May 24 (ANI): The Border Security Force (BSF) is maintaining a strong presence along the international border in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, as part of ongoing Operation Sindoor.
BSF personnel are working tirelessly to ensure national security and prevent any potential threats from across the border.
Yogendra Singh Rathore, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Jaisalmer BSF, emphasized the force’ unwavering commitment to national security, highlighting their role as the first line of defense.
“BSF is the first line of defence and is always alert on the border. 5-6 years after its formation, the India-Pakistan war took place in 1971, and even then, it proved its usefulness. We were victorious during the Kargil war too. When the incident happened on 22nd April, when they (terrorists) killed our innocent citizens, after that, we were ready to give them a befitting reply. We stood by the decision taken by the Government of India, and we were fully prepared so that we could stop any misadventure right there,” said DIG Rathore.
Border Security Force (BSF) Officer Jaipal Singh highlighted the BSF’s readiness to ensure national security, particularly effectively neutralising drone threats during Operation Sindoor.
he BSF worked closely with the Indian Air Force, which successfully targeted Pakistani airbases, damaging enemy infrastructure.
He said, “During Operation Sindoor, before Operation Sindoor and in the future, BSF has always been ready to perform its duty for the security of the country. During Operation Sindoor, the drone activities increased a lot. The enemy sent drones and shells, and we used our equipment tactfully and neutralised their drones…The Indian Air Force did a very good job during this. Many air bases of Pakistan were damaged. This is a matter of pride for us…”
The BSF continues to maintain heightened vigilance to ensure the security of the nation’s borders.
India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POJK).
The Indian Armed Forces responded effectively to subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases. The two countries have reached an understanding to stop military action following a call made by Pakistan’s DGMO to his Indian counterpart. (ANI)
