The Border Security Force (BSF) celebrated Diwali with Seema Praharis deployed at various border outposts along the India-Bangladesh International Border in Tripura on Sunday, honouring their unwavering commitment to national security with traditional festivities, sweets and messages of appreciation.
Inspector General (IG) of BSF Tripura Frontier, Princee Rani, accompanied by senior officers, visited several border locations where she joined the troops in celebrating the festival of lights. The celebrations included the lighting of diyas, fireworks and the distribution of sweets, fostering a spirit of unity, brotherhood and camaraderie among the personnel stationed along the frontier.
Addressing the troops, the IG commended the dedication, vigilance and professionalism of the Seema Praharis in safeguarding the International Border and preventing trans-border crimes. She also acknowledged the sacrifices made by BSF personnel, who remain away from their families during festivals and other important occasions to ensure the nation's security.
"The BSF celebrates Diwali as one family, even while guarding the country's borders," she said, reaffirming the force's tradition of togetherness and service.
As part of the festivities, Commandants of all BSF battalions distributed sweets to their counterparts in the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) across different sectors, reinforcing the spirit of goodwill, mutual respect and cordial relations between the two border guarding forces.
The Diwali celebrations along the border highlighted not only the sacrifices and dedication of BSF personnel serving the nation but also reflected the enduring spirit of goodwill and cooperation shared between the BSF and the BGB during one of India's most cherished festivals.
