The BSF is unlikely to replace Assam Rifles to guard the Myanmar border, Assam Rifles Director General Lt Gen Rameshwar Roy said today. Even as the Centre is yet to take a final call on the issue, Roy said, "There was less possibility" of the BSF replacing the Assam Rifles as his force "is identified with the ground, the people and the terrain".
Roy said as Assam Rifles has been manning the 1640-km border for many years now, it would be difficult to replace it.
Earlier, the Centre was considering deployment of the BSF along the Myanmar border.
