Agartala: Border Security Force (BSF) troopers will soon use trained dogs to check infiltration and smuggling along Tripura's border with Bangladesh.
"We shall engage trained dogs for guarding the international border and check trans-border crimes," said U.K. Bansal, additional director general of BSF.
The BSF dog training centre in Tekenpur in Madhya Pradesh has been providing eight types of training to sniper and tracker dogs.
"Recently, while patrolling the border areas of Assam along with a sniper dog, the soldiers recovered a bag containing huge quantities of RDX," Bansal said.
He said that it was decided to deploy at least four sniper or tracker dogs in each battalion of BSF posted along the international border in Tripura.
Bansal, who is looking after five frontiers along the India-Bangladesh border, said the BSF had also acquired six helicopters to step up vigil along the border in this region.
