New Delhi, Nov 28 (IANS) The paramilitary Pakistan Rangers are building “defensive” bunkers along the frontier with India to defend themselves from possible attacks from within their own territory, the chief of India’s Border Security Force (BSF) said Saturday.
“We have come across certain construction activities across the border. In some instances, the bunkers being constructed are facing their own territory,” BSF chief Raman Srivastava told reporters here.
Srivastava said this could be seen as a preventive measure taken by the Rangers to defend themselves from attacks by the Taliban or other militant groups.
Srivastava also praised the operations of the BSF’s newly-raised women’s wing.
“The women constables have expressed desire to be posted along the borders and also to be made part of anti-Maoist operations. We are discussing what other duties could be given to them,” he said.
