Agartala:
The Border Security Force is well equipped to face any terrorist or Taliban attack from across the border, BSF Director General M L Kumawat said on Saturday.
"The western border is well guarded, well fenced, well equipped and well manned to face any kind of terrorist or Talibani attack from other side of the border," Kumawat said, adding that Taliban and other anti-Indian elements were using the soil of Pak occupied Kashmir to create menace.
Kumawat, who is on a three-day visit to the state which shares a 856-km long porous border with Bangladesh, told reporters that BSF would have to remain alert and cautious to check infiltration as Pakistani terrorists are now using Bangladesh to enter India.
After the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government came to power in Bangladesh, relation between BSF and BDR has improved, the BSF DG said.
After the recent BDR mutiny, Bangladesh government sought assistance from BSF so that the belligerent groups could not cross the border to enter Indian territory, he said.
