443 kms of international border with Bangladesh which is full of challenges
owing to existing tough terrain and extreme climate conditions. The BSF troops

weather, heavy rain, dense woods, thunderstorms, ferric drinking water, fungal
infection and hundreds of other problems which make living condition pathetic.
