|May 31, 2025
BSF Inspector General Abhishek Pathak on Friday apprised the force's role in Operation Sindoor, saying it had worked in tandem with the Indian armed forces and ensured that "despite Pakistan's aggressive assaults, not a single BSF jawan or civilian on the Gujarat border was harmed".
Addressing the media in Gandhinagar, the Border Security Force (BSF) chief referred to the challenges the force faced in keeping the Gujarat frontier secure: "The India-Pakistan border in Gujarat presents a unique geographical challenge. It's either desert or creek, with marshy, saline soil and a hot, humid climate. Movement routes are severely limited, forcing soldiers to patrol and operate on foot through difficult marshy terrain."
