Several political leaders across the country also extended their greetings to the BSF personnel on the occasion.
BSF was formed in 1965 in order to protect the nation’s border. Prior to the formation of the BSF, the border security was overseen by the State Armed Police Battalion. Following the attack by Pakistan on Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet in Kutch on April 1965, the union government, based on the recommendation of the Committee of Secretaries, established the BSF.
