KEY POINTS

·        The Ministry of Home Affairs recently issued a notification extending the jurisdiction of the Border Security Force from 15 km to a depth of 50 km along the international borders in three states  Punjab, Assam and West Bengal.

·        The controversial change is in Assam, West Bengal and Punjab, where the BSF jurisdiction has been extended from 15 km to 50 km.

·        The threat perception from across the international borders has undergone a change in the context of recent developments in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.

·        West Bengal has already undergone a huge demographic change.

  • Assam faces multiple problems of ethnic insurgencies, smuggling, counterfeit currency, drug trafficking, etc.

·        the police across the country need the assistance of central armed police forces even for maintaining normal law and order.

·        The jurisdiction of the state police has neither been curtailed nor its powers reduced in any manner.

·        It is just that the BSF will also be exercising powers of search, seizure and arrest in respect of only the Passport Act 1967, Passport (Entry into India) Act 1920.

·        The power to register FIR and investigate the case remains with the state police.

·        National security is a paramount consideration. It is unfortunate that the BSF is being dragged into political controversy when it would actually be over-stretching itself to strengthen national security.
