SHILLONG, April 24: Affected severely by COVID-19 in 2020, the Border Security Force, Meghalaya Frontier, is in no mood this year to grapple with the virus and is making all-out efforts to stay out of harm’s way.
“The BSF is taking all necessary steps to protect the camp from COVID-19 and, after learning from past experience, is ensuring that all the possible loopholes are plugged,” said BSF spokesperson, DGP Umesh Kumar Nayal, on Saturday.
Giving out the details of the preparation in place to counter the second wave, Nayal said, “Apart from the COVID testing at Umling, anyone from the BSF found infected with COVID is being kept outside the campus in quarantine area, so that other people within the campus are not infected.”
Informing that people are not allowed to enter BSF campuses across Meghalaya, Nayal said that families of BSF personnel residing inside the campus have also been barred from going out until the situation returns to normalcy.
“We have also stopped all meetings and programmes,” said the BSF spokesperson.
He hoped that just like last year, the central government will defer or even cancel transfers or postings of military personnel till the situation normalises.
