Cyclone Biparjoy: BSF insensifies their efforts to assist people of Gujarat

As the coastal areas brace for the arrival of Cyclone Biparjoy, the Border Security Force (BSF) deployed along the coastline has intensified their efforts to provide assistance to the villagers residing in the border region. In preparation for the landfall of the 'Very Severe Cyclonic Storm' Biparjoy, expected to occur between 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, the BSF has mobilized their resources and personnel to support the affected communities.

According to the official statement, the unwavering commitment of BSF aims to protect valuable lives, mitigate suffering, maintain human dignity, and instil a sense of security among the border population.

The BSF said in its release that shelter is being provided to vulnerable villagers, ensuring their safety during this perilous time. 150 villagers from Thumari and Walawariwand villages have sought refuge in the BSF camp.


"BSF troops have made all necessary adjustments, accommodating the villagers within their facilities to ensure their well-being. Among those sheltered, there are 34 children, as well as senior citizens, males, and females. The BSF is diligently providing essential support such as drinking water, food, medical coverage, and maintaining hygiene and sanitation standards," the release stated.

Earlier, BSF had accommodated around 100 villagers from Gunao village, close to the Jakhau coast, in one of its camps, demonstrating their commitment to safeguarding the lives of the border population in any conditions.

"In addition to providing shelter and necessary provisions, the BSF has also established Quick Response Teams equipped with life-saving equipment. These teams are prepared to assist the civil administration promptly in the aftermath of the cyclone, should the need arise," the release further said.

The BSF in its release stated that the force is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of the valuable human lives affected by Cyclone Biparjoy, thereby exemplifying the spirit of solidarity and resilience in the face of adversity.
