The Union Home Ministry has instructed all central paramilitary and allied forces to replicate a successful beekeeping model initiated by a BSF unit in West Bengal along the border fence. This initiative aims to create employment opportunities for locals and enhance goodwill, thereby strengthening security measures. The model, lauded during a meeting chaired by Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, involves installing beehives on the border fence to deter crimes like smuggling and fence cutting while engaging locals in productive work.
