BSF creates open-air gyms, bathrooms for women along India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal
bathing sheds for women have been created by a BSF battalion deployed in this frontier area of West Bengal to guard the India-Bangaldesh international boundary. The facilities were created following the Union home ministry's directive to the border forces to engage with the local population, with Home Minister Amit Shah saying these remote locations on the front are not the last but the first villages of the country, and organisations like the Border Security Force (BSF) should take all measures for the betterment of the lives of the citizens residing in these security-sensitive areas, a senior officer told PTI.
The 32nd battalion of the BSF has created the open-air gyms near its border outposts of Gede, Kadipur and Tungi in West Bengal's Nadia district.
Equipment like parallel bars, waist stretchers, chest press, fun rider, lateral pull down, sit-up trainer, two-sided rotator and «tai chi spinner» have been installed in these gyms, the officer said.
He said the BSF personnel guarding these areas facilitate people from all age groups — children, youngsters and the elderly — to use the facilities anytime of the day. «The barrier that was earlier lowered and kept closed by our jawans is now kept open so that people can enjoy the gym whenever they want,» another BSF official said.
The area has been cleaned off weeds and shrubs, and large boards that say «Seema Sambandh Marg» or border-relations street have been put up at the three locations.
