Imphal, December 03 2015:
BSF celebrated its golden jubilee at Sector Headquarters (CI Ops), Koirengei today.
Colourful cultural programmes were the main attractions of the celebration taken part by officers, soldiers and their families and retired personnel.
Speaking as the chief guest, DIG Mritul Sonowal said that BSF was set up on December 1, 1965 to man the border areas of the country.
BSF has been able to achieve what it is today as the paramilitary force has been discharging its duty in the right spirit since the past 50 years, he said.

Saying that BSF has witnessed many changes during these years, Sonowal expressed hope that the paramilitary force would become stronger and more potent in future.
He said, "Our instructors and seniors once told us that it was like checking into a five star hotel if we got a tent and it was like dining at a restaurant if we got food in time, and those who got leave in time were the luckiest personnel.
As such, all the personnel experience similar problems while in service and there is no exception" .
He said that he was pleased on seeing many retired personnel taking part at the celebration.
Sonowal said, "We must extend support to them as we all would retire one day" .
