Acting on specific tip-off, vigilant troops of BSF Meghalaya on 19 Oct’ 2024, seized clothing items worth more than Rs 12 lakhs from the bordering area of  West Garo Hills.

The consignment was seized by troops of 100 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 bundles. Upon searching, bundles of clothes were found from the spot which were seized by BSF troops. The seized items were handed over to concerned customs office.

The BSF is maintaining high degree of alertness along the Indo-Bangladesh border and nefarious attempts by smugglers are being foiled continuously.
