|May 13, 2025
THE BSF on Monday said that soon after the government announced retribution for the April 22 Pahalgam attack by Pakistan-backed terrorists, the force remained in a state of high alert along the borders and was actively involved in 'Operation Sindoor'.
During a media briefing, Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai praised BSF's effective role in the operation. He said the BSF's counter-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAQVs) systems were integrated into the air defence network of the armed forces to neutralise Pakistan drones.
Officials said the BSF's Western Command, headquartered at Chandigarh, is tasked with deployment and operations along the Pakistan border and is spread into five frontiers.
