But the BSF and other security agencies are ready and alert to foil all the possible bids on the LoC and the IB,” the DG BSF said, adding that reports of possible infiltration bids keep on coming, “but we are ready to tackle any situation that may emerge.” “We are committed to protect the sanctity of LoC and IB,” he said.
