More than 5,000 ‘Body Warne Cameras’ are being provided to the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel deployed under the security of the Indo-Bangladesh International Border, so that the soldiers on duty can record the scenes and evidence of sending illegal Bangladeshis back to the illegal Bangladeshis.
Official sources in the security establishment said that the selected border posts (BOP) of the force on the 4,096 km border are also being equipped with biometric equipment, so that they can take pictures of the fingers of illegal Bangladeshis and the effigies of the eyes and these figures can be shared with the Foreign Registration Office (FRO).
Initiative to strengthen the security system on the border
On this front, two policy decisions to increase the capabilities of BSF were taken on August 5, 2024 in view of strengthening the security system along the border after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh. Sources said that the Union Home Ministry has recently approved these two proposals of the BSF headquarters after the ‘comprehensive review’ of the security situation along the Bangladesh border.
According to sources, about 5,000 ‘body warn cameras’ (such cameras which can be worn in helmets or uniforms) are being sent to BSF personnel deployed under the security of the Indo-Bangladesh international border. Sources said that these cameras capable of watching these nights can record about 12-14 hours of footage.
Helpful to record evidence
Sources said that these cameras would be helpful in recording the facts and evidence when BSF personnel will send back to illegal Bangladeshis or deal with miscreants to prevent crimes across the border such as drugs, cattle and fake Indian currency besides human trafficking and infiltration. Sources said that this recording will also serve as evidence in cases where BSF jawans are attacked by criminals from both countries.
