The filtration plant set up in Greater Rann of Kutch for BSF
RAJKOT: As jawans deputed to guard the 125-km long stretch of Indo-Pak border falling in the Greater Rann of Kutch (GRK) they brave the extremely difficult terrains.
Getting fresh water to quench their thirst in the salt marsh of the Thar desert was like a mirage for the Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers.
But that has changed thanks to the efforts of Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board (GWSSB) which has secured their water demands at Genda check post or 1079 border outpost in BSF’s jargon.
Around 20 jawans are posted at one chowki. There are 40 such chowkis, located at 5 km distance between them, securing the 125 km border.
