Union Home Minister Amit Shah on September 24 inaugurated 5 BoPs of SSB in Kishanganj, Bihar. He hailed the efforts of SSB in tackling border issues and fighting against Naxalites in Bihar. “Sitting in Delhi, one thinks you have the easiest duty as we have friendly relations with both nations (Nepal & Bhutan). But when one comes to the border, he realises that you have the toughest duty as it's an open border,” Amit Shah said. “Responsibility increases if it's an open border. However friendly may the relations be, even if the neighbouring nations have no ill intentions, there are a few elements in society who use open borders for unauthorised earning - be it smuggling, animal smuggling, or infiltration. SSB Jawans have fought a tough fight against Naxalism rampant in the northeast. As a result, Naxalism is on the brink of ending in Bihar and Jharkhand regions, we can even say it is finished here,” he added.
