Union Home Minister Amit Shah lauded the Border Security Force (BSF) for its decisive role in Operation Sindoor, highlighting the destruction of 118 Pakistani posts and the complete dismantling of Pakistan’s surveillance network along key border regions. Addressing BSF personnel in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir, Shah emphasized their unwavering vigilance and strategic precision, ensuring that no attack directly impacts India’s borders.
The Home Minister, joined by Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor, the Union Home Secretary, and top officials from the Intelligence Bureau and BSF, reaffirmed the nation’s deep gratitude to the force for its dedication to safeguarding national security.
Speaking at the gathering, Shah underscored that BSF personnel stand as India’s first line of defense, shielding the country through continuous 24×7 vigilance across challenging frontier terrains. He noted that BSF’s success during Operation Sindoor was rooted in its ability to preemptively monitor Pakistan’s posts, leveraging precise intelligence to inflict maximum strategic damage in minimal time.
During Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes targeting Indian residential areas, BSF forces stationed along the Jammu, Rajasthan, and Kutch borders responded with exceptional force, eliminating enemy strongholds and crippling surveillance operations. Shah emphasized that this level of bravery and tactical superiority comes from deep national pride and unwavering dedication to duty.
The operation has cemented BSF’s reputation as a formidable force, with the courage and sacrifice of its personnel now recognized by every Indian. Officials stated that BSF’s relentless pursuit of border security continues to strengthen India’s defense posture, ensuring that adversaries remain contained before they pose threats.
