Border Security Force (BSF)

In the aftermath of 1965 Indo-Pak conflict, the leadership of the country came out with alternative blueprint of dedicated Federal Force for securing Indian borders with Pakistan. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then, Prime Minister constituted a committee comprising of General J N Chaudhuri, the Chief of Army Staff, Shri L P Singh, the Home Secretary and the Defence Secretary to draft the blueprint. Thus, Border Security Force was raised on 1st December, 1965 by embodying various State Armed Police battalions deployed on the borders under the inspiring leadership of Shri K F Rustamji, IP as its first Director General. With a humble beginning with 25 Battalions of State Armed Police of bordering states, today, BSF has emerged to be the world’s largest border guarding force with over 2,50,000 committed Seema Praharis.

BSF guards a staggering 6623 kms border of India with Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Western Command of the Force is responsible for 2290 kms of land border, 237 kms of Line of Control (Loc) and 85 kms Coastal border with Pakistan. The Eastern Command safeguards 4096 kms of IB including 930 kms tricky and riverine borders with Bangladesh. Besides guarding borders, BSF has now been entrusted with the added responsibility to tackle the Left Wing Extremism in the States of Odisha and Chhattisgarh.

These 50 years have been a glorious saga of valour, sacrifice and dedication where BSF has stood up to every challenge and emerged triumphant. During its Golden journey, BSF has played a pivotal role & contributed immensely to all facets of National security right from the day of its raising. BSF shouldered responsibilities such as election duties, aid to civil authorities during natural calamities, law & order duties with great aplomb. The force has also played a significant role in restoring peace and in smothering the menace of militancy in the State of Punjab, J&K and North-Eastern States for which the Seema Praharis earned gallantry medals for their acts of bravery. A total of 1551 BSF bravehearts sacrificed their lives in the line of duty to attain covetous and exalted position of martyr. The riveting and fascinating saga of BSF will always continue to be the hallmark of this elite Force.

BSF Martyrs–A Legacy of Pride and Valour iii

Foreword

BSF during its Golden Journey has played a pivotal role & contributed immensely on all facets of national security right from the day of its raising/inception. Indo Pak conflict of 1965 compelled the then leadership of the country to raise a dedicated federal force for securing Indian border with Pakistan. Raised on 1st Dec 1965 with a humble beginning with 25 Bns of state Armed Police of bordering states, today it has emerged to be the world’s largest border guarding force. This elite force has participated in all major border conflicts with Pakistan and internal security situation/operations since then. During the nascent years of its raising the force was tasked to assist Mukti Vahini for Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. It is on record that BSF was mobilized before the actual war had broken out during Liberation War of Bangladesh.

Since then the gallant journey of BSF is continuing in the form of fighting militancy and restoring peace in Punjab, counter insurgency operations in J&K and fighting insurgents in North East and now fighting Maoists besides its primary role of guarding Indo-Pak and Indo Bangladesh Border. To pay tribute to our martyrs in this Golden Jubilee year, we have compiled stories of valour and supreme sacrifice of BSF personnel in the form of a book, titled, “BSF MARTYRS – A LEGACY OF PRIDE AND VALOUR”.

During this Golden Journey, 1551 BSF personnel have laid down their lives in the line of duty which speaks for itself about the commitment to national security, patriotism and high order of professionalism.

The supreme sacrifice of the Bordermen has been duly recognised by the Govt of India by awarding 1 Mahavir Chakra, 11 Veer Chakra, 4 Kirti Chakra, 12 Shourya Chakra, 231 PPMG and 870 PMG.

It is our solemn duty to ensure that families of our martyrs are looked after in the best possible way as is also the wish of our Hon’ble Prime Minister and Hon’ble Home Minister.

I am confident that Force will carry the legacy of its motto “Jeevan Paryant Kartavya” in the times to come too.

Jai Hind

In the Golden Jubilee year of BSF, this book on BSF Martyrs is a

perfect tribute to our brave hearts who sacrificed their lives in the

line of duty. This book has been possible through the combined

efforts of large number of BSF officers and men, as compilation

of data spanning 50 years in a short time was indeed a herculean

task. I am grateful for the vision, wisdom and inspiration received

from Shri D K Pathak, IPS, DG BSF, who was the main driving

force behind this gigantic task that we had undertaken.

My sincere thanks are due to Shri K K Sharma, IPS, ADG(Ops)

IG (Adm)

It gives me immense pleasure to know that in the golden jubilee year, Border Security Force is dedicating a book honouring the martyrs of the Force and has aptly titled it as “BSF Martyrs – A Legacy of Pride and Valour”.

Such momentous occasions give us an opportunity to express our gratitude towards our brave hearts and recall the supreme sacrifice made by the border men during the most challenging times in the history of

this great nation. I am sure this book, dedicated to the martyrs of the Force, will be a true tribute and honour to the sacrifices made by them. I am indeed glad to see their gallant deeds have been penned in golden letters, which will be preserved for the coming generation as a treatise of heroic act.

I am confident that this book will act as a source of inspiration and enthuse our border men to render services for the motherland more devotedly and dedicatedly.

I wish the Force a grand success during the Golden Jubilee Year and hope it grows from strength to strength.

I am glad, to know that BSF has entered 50th year of glorious service to the nation and during 2015 BSF is publishing a Book “BSF Martyrs – A Legacy of Pride and Valour”

The Border Security Force has served the country with great dedication. It has demonstrated the highest levels of commitment, professionalism and discipline in maintaining the sanctity of International Borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. Besides this, the force had contributed immensely during 1971 Indo-Pak

war and has also been instrumental in curbing terrorism in Punjab, militancy in J&K and insurgency in far flung areas of North-East. The contribution of BSF in tackling ongoing left wing extremism menace is commendable.

I pay homage to the gallant officers and men of the force who have made supreme sacrifice at the altar of duty. I convey my best wishes to all the bordermen and their families.

I am delighted to learn that Border Security Force is celebrating 2015 as Golden Jubilee year and is publishing a book remembering the martyrs of BSF titled as “BSF Martyrs – A Legacy of Pride and Valour.”

The Border Security Force, the first line of defence of the nation, has been guarding our borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh and also credited with the vital role in counter insurgency operations in Jammu

and Kashmir, Punjab and North East. It has also been performing commendably in Anti LWE operations these days.

BSF has a glorious past and bordermen have proven their worth on every occasion whenever nation needed them. While discharging their onerous duties, many officers and men of this elite force have laid down their lives in the service of ‘Motherland’. Let us remember our Martyrs with gratitude for the supreme sacrifice they have made in the line of duty.

I salute these brave bordermen and their family members. I congratulate BSF for taking this commendable step towards remembering their Martyrs and am confident this will instill more patriotism in BSF troops and will remain a source of inspiration for all time to come.

Regt. No. : 730012755



Regt No. 730012755 Inspr Subhash Chand Mishra of SHQ Bandipur attained martyrdom on 16 Sept 1993 at village

Bazipura on Srinagar-Bandipur road while performing CI duty. Born on 25 July 1954, Sub S C Mishra joined BSF on 26 Jan 1973.

On night intervening 15/16 Sept 1993 based on specific information about presence of 10 hardcore militants of HM outfit in three hideouts in village Bazipura on Srinagar- Bandipur road, a BSF raid party was tasked to flush out the militants. The party was divided into 3 groups first headed by Commandant 173 Bn BSF, second by JAD (G) Bandipur and the third one headed by Inspr(G) Subhash Chand Mishra. While each party was assigned the task to raid the three hideouts independently, the party headed by Inspr (G) Subhash Chand Mishra was to raid the main hideout of the militants.

When the raid party led by Inspr(G) Subhash Chand Mishra reached near the target, heavy fire came from militants hiding inside the house. After assessing the situation and tactfully positioning his party, Inspr(G) Subhash Chand Mishra, unmindful of his personal safety, crawled towards the open door of the hideout and fired from his AK- 56 rifle killing two militants on the spot, but received serious bullet injury in his abdomen. Still without carrying for his life and safety continued to fire effectively and killed one more militant before succumbing to his injuries. After killing Subhash Chand Mishra, militants tried to escape through the open door and 02 of them became the target of party already positioned there. In the meantime, other raid parties also reached there and succeeded in killing 03 more militants. The BSF raid party succeeded in liquidating 08 hardcore terrorists
