BSF to deploy more floating outposts along Bangladesh border

    In a bid to strengthen vigil along the riverine border with Bangladesh, Indian Border Security Force has decided to deploy six to seven floating border outposts (BOP) next year, reports Hindustan Times. Currently, there are three BOPs that keep surveillance in the Sundarbans. However, BSF has refused to divulge the number of BOPs that it is going to deploy, it said.
