SHILLONG: With Assembly election in Meghalaya due on February 23, the Border Security Force (BSF) has strengthened its vigil along the Indo-Bangla international border.
BSF PRO Ravi Gandhi on Sunday said over 800 personnel has been mobilized to safeguard the borders, considering that the State Election Department will declare polling stations near the international borders as ‘sensitive’.
“We have already geared up for the election and extra manpower has been sent from the Headquarters to the borders,” he said, adding that the troops will do intensive and extensive border domination in view of the election.
“We are also coordinating closely with the border population and the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) in this regard,” he said.
