Bengaluru, Jan. 26: The Governor of Karnataka, Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot, highlighted the crucial role played by the Border Security Force (BSF) in safeguarding the security, unity, and integrity of the nation. He made these remarks while attending a special program organized by the BSF in Bengaluru.
The Governor lauded the BSF as the first line of defense for the country and the world’s largest border guarding force. Established on December 1, 1965, the BSF has consistently bolstered the nation’s security, earning recognition for its valor during key historical events, including the 1971 India-Pakistan war and the Kargil conflict in 1999.
Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot commended the BSF for its exceptional efforts in tackling challenges like terrorism, extremism, and Naxalism, while also securing thousands of kilometers of India’s international borders. He praised the force’s unwavering dedication to its motto, “Duty of a Lifetime,” acknowledging its success in both repelling external threats and preventing criminal activities along the borders.
“The BSF’s contributions extend beyond national defense,” said Shri Gehlot. “Its involvement in medical camps, awareness programs, and community welfare projects showcases its unparalleled commitment to nation-building.”
The Governor also remembered the sacrifices of BSF martyrs, stating that the safety of the nation owes much to their courage and bravery.
Present at the event were Shri Vineet Kumar, Inspector General of the Border Security Force, Bengaluru, and other distinguished officials.
