ResponseBy: Atul | Thursday , 5 Mar '09 20:36:57 PM Reply | Forward The news item has missed the moot point that draws a parallel between the BSF and the BDR across the Bangladeshi borders.

They should be given enough oppurtunities,encouragement and monitory benefits. It always helps if we can lend our time to hear their problems and try to solve it avaoding red tapism. The best example of growing resentement was demonstared by our retired officers bymeans of returning their seva medals to the Govt.of India,which were given to them for their service to the country.I think the time has come to address their long standing issues with more sincerety and honesty. Else we have to meet the same fate one day.Jai Ho!Jai Hind !
