12 Kolkata: BSF IG (North Bengal Frontier) Surajkant Sharma spent a night at a border outpost in Mekhliganj, Cooch Behar, on Thursday. He followed it up with multiple stocking exercises in the next 48 hours.
The inspection comes amid intelligence reports suggesting possible infiltration attempts by members of a Bangladeshi militant organisation.
According to BSF sources, IG Sharma conducted comprehensive checks at the Tinbigha border before staying overnight at the Gomati border outpost. The visit coincides with a ten-day "Operations Alert" declared from Jan 22 to Jan 31.
BSF Eastern Command has implemented additional security protocols along the border. All outposts have been directed to maintain extra vigilance, with provisions for additional force deployment if required. Special DG Ravi Gandhi has been conducting inspections at various border outposts to ensure operational readiness.
BSF, meanwhile, said it would not comment on a controversial social media video featuring an alleged BGB colonel threatening Indian citizens.
