Border Security Force (BSF), for the first time, will celebrate its raising day in the border area of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan on December 1. The event is likely to be attended by Home Ministry Amit Shah.
A senior BSF official confirmed that the raising day celebrations will be conducted in the border area for the first time, after getting permission from the home ministry. Earlier, every year the event used to be organized in the national capital.
“The event will be held at Shaheed Poonam Singh Stadium in Jaisalmer. Senior Officers of Rajasthan Frontier of BSF have been briefed about the decision and are instructed to look after the preparations along with other concerned authorities,” the officer said.
BSF was founded on December 1, 1965, which is a paramilitary force charged with guarding India’s land border during peacetime and preventing transnational crime. It comes under the ministry of home affairs (MHA).
