Acting on specific tip-off, vigilant troops of 01 Bn BSF Meghalaya in the wee hours of 14 July’ 2023, seized clothing items worth more than Rs 14 lakhs from the bordering area of South West Khasi Hills.
The consignment was seized by troops of BOP Bagli under 01 Bn BSF when the miscreants were trying to cross it over to Bangladesh. On being challenged by BSF, smugglers fled from the spot by taking advantage of thick vegetation and undulating terrain leaving behind their head loads. Upon searching, 16 bundles of clothes were found from the spot which were seized by BSF troops. The seized items were handed over to the customs office Barsora.
The BSF is maintaining a high degree of alertness along the Indo-Bangladesh border and nefarious attempts by smugglers are being foiled continuously.
