GUWAHATI, Oct 8 � The Border Security Force (BSF) has refuted the statements made recently by Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) leader Atul Bora on the Indo-Bangla border areas of Goloklganj and Gauripur Legislative Assembly constituencies.

In a press statement, the BSF said that unlike what the AGP leader had alleged, the international border is fenced and all the roads and bridges are guarded round-the-year.

�Strong contingent of BSF is deployed on the border and carrying out their duties despite adverse climactic conditions and even in flooded Brahmaputra River,� the BSF press statement mentioned.

�Hence, unabated infiltration and smuggling of cattle is out of question,� it said, adding, �The Indian population living ahead of border fencing are well protected round-the-clock by BSF personnel,� the BSF asserted.

�The BSF strongly condemns and refutes the statement made by the AGP leader,� the press statement added.
