The Public Relations Officer of the Border Security Force stated that the Border Security Force keeps doing social work for the Border residents from time to time. This enhances the trust, cooperation and mutual synergy in the hearts and minds of the Border people towards the Border Security Force, which is essential for ensuring national security.
